I wish to create a fairly large route based around the Reading Area.
However I just don't know how to get started. Could anyone offer any help for a novice.
Cheers
Richard

Get a quail track map of the area as that shows the track layout and miles and chains, visit the location and take plenty of phots so when you get home you have plenty of reference material to refer too

Yep... and then... read it again! (after a long lie-down, that is)

Oh then remember everything you thought you'd forgotten from school like inverse tangents (to calculate gradents) and radians (to curve dynamic track)!

I just twiddle the mouse about. Have I been doing something wrong?
