Am I being dense?! I can't see the ability to save routes anywhere. I've mapped my LEJoG ride on bikely but the site is so painfully slow I want to re-map it using Bikehike.

In the Mapping Controls box, use the Download Route option to save, and the Upload Route option to re-open.

Cheers, Paul. Much appreciated.

There was a liability issue some while ago..... if someone downloaded and used a route on the site, then had an accident, was the site liable for the advice it had "given"

As a result the "Save" feature allowing you to retain your route on the site was disabled. Download as above

# Jan 2010: Closure of Route Database
I have received legal advice that, in spite of any disclaimer on this site, there is no guarantee against possible litigation as a result of having routes assessible via this website.

As a private individual I am not prepared to expose myself to this risk (however small) and therefore have reluctantly taken the decision to close the bikehike route database.

For a start the facility to save routes to the database has been closed. In the near future I will also close the facility to search for routes in the database. In the meantime I suggest all users download their routes to their PCs.

I apologise for the inconvenience caused. I hope you can appreciate the reasons.

Sadly another example where individuals fail to take responsibility for their own safety.

save 'em to the cloud, using something like dropbox and they are accessible from any internet connected computer on the planet. dead handy.

If you have any webspace to upload your gpx files to, then you can open them up again on bikehike like this
