Gentlemen, thank you. Seeing as it's unlikely I'll be anywhere near the front I'll take your advice and follow the flattened bracken! Just FYI, I found a nice link to a Garmin .khz file on the Scottish Hill Racing site last night and it appears to follow the Harvey map almost exactly. You can download this to your Garmin or drop it onto Google Earth ... not that I would stoop to using it on race day of course! Makes recces a bit pointless ....
