Looks like a great ride, well done

I'm looking at the red line route on this map.

That's a bit too cryptic, even for me.

Scottish Borders county, maybe...

A county border

It looks like it should be wolds-ish, but none of the bumps (i've looked at) near the county borders stack up in terms of steepness minor roads or arable field.

I am amazed at how hard this is proving to find despite the detailed clues!

You just need to follow the GPX file all the way from London to Edinburgh and back, then you'll find it.

I've given up, until another "detailed" clue emerges from the fog.

Just the way back from Edinburgh!

And I have followed it... I thought I had looked at every steep ramp but obviously I must have missed the right one. I'll take a break and have another look in a few hours time if it still has not been found.

I didn't even bother looking because I assumed that armed with the GPS track someone else would get it in seconds.

 

[MontyVeda]

I've covered most of it too, except the area closer to London... which could be the reason some are walking up the hill; having 700+ miles under their belts.

I followed the London to Edinburgh GPS route file when I first guessed it was the LEL yesterday morning, to no avail.

The return leg differs at the start, so maybe that is where to focus our efforts - Edinburgh to the BORDER area?

I thought there were only checkpoints and not a fixed GPS route?
