Isn't that a slightly complicated way of saying run straight up and straight down again....?
The route has a rather nice view of the central fells on the way down, if you don't mind falling over while looking at it, but other than that I can't see the attraction....
Oh, and you'd be best off making a PDF of it....
i cannot read that
cant you do better
Now and again - just to maintain my forum eligibility!
PS fellhell I didnt know you ran on the real fells??!!
As you saved it as a jpeg, winzippig it won't do much as a jpeg is already compressed. What you need to do is use some software such as Irfanview to resize it first. Irfanview is probably the most useful piece of free software I ever came across and I've been using it as long as I can remember.
Open up your scanned image in Irfanview and go to Image>Resize/Resample from the menu at the top. You will get a new window with various boxes and numbers. In the "Set new size" boxes, put something like Width=1000 and make sure "pixels" and "Perserve aspect ratio" are selected underneath. Change the "DPI:" to 72 and hit OK. If the image looks a bit blurred, then go to Image>Sharpen. Once you are happy go to File>Save As and select desktop from the "Save in:" dropdown box at the top. Give it a name and make sure the "Save as Type" box is showing JPG at the bottom. In the Jpeg/Gif save options box at the side, untick everything and set the slider to 80%. Select save. That should do it.
I can't believe all this faffing about for a map of this race. The only navigational problem is getting out of Fitz Park.
