Strava

[JohnK]

Where I find it great is getting ideas for routes from looking at other runs. I had a few hours running the high peak marathon route back in the summer after using a firefox plugin that allowed me to download a very good gpx plot from strava. Put that on my Garmin eTrex and used that as a reference for a great day out. Done similar things with the Kinder Dozen, Kinder Killer and numerous other long day outs.

I regularly do similar using memory map had some marvelous long days out on routes of my own making over terrain that I have some knowledge of from my interpretation of the map when plotting the route before downloading the GPX to gps for back up if I have any doubts with my memory and or map reading immensely satisfying.

Not really sure what strava is good for really.
