Right, I've Tomtomised it a bit. Seems that Garmin like to mark up every road junction, while Tomtom's work better if you mark the road you want.
Dave, are there particular points besides the seafront at Aberystwyth (25 on this map) and the Owls Nest Diner (40) that I need to check are ok before I put the Tomtom file up?

With this being such a popular G2G, I hope we're doing the route in small groups. We don't want to cause panic when 30 Carpadiens arrive at a cake shop

Don't worry, last time I went to the Owls nest we had Sidestand Junior with us and they still had cake left over when we'd finished.

If there's 30 of you, it may be worth letting Ian at Owl's Nest know... They often have groups of 10 but may not be ready for you lot.
I'll be on Snowjoke and we'll probably be there on the same day (in a smaller group) and eat even more cake.

Is a SatNav going to be mandatory for this ?
Or can I just keep up with the rest of the crowd ?

Or just head straight for the Owls nest and see how many cakes you can scoff before the rest of them arrive. 
Personally I hate riding in big groups so like to have the route in my satnav so I can go at my own pace and meet up.

I probably only rode about 1000 miles last year, and so far this year I've done less than 100. I'm slower than a 3 legged donkey and probably about as wobbly.

I do a fair bit of miles but it makes no difference. I wasn't anything special at 16 & after all these years I have progressed to higher standard crap
