After buying all the OS maps and spending several hours in the national archives taking measurements, I've decided to restart the route from scratch. The way I've been designing the route so far would cause unnecessary work for me to continue it accurately, and since I didn't get too far with the first run, its not too bad.
The good news is that I now have all the resources I need and I'm also now on my holidays from university (after my exam tomorrow, of course), so I should have good time to work on the route. The picture above shows the very start of my work at Gifford. With the new height information, I now have a base height to use, hence the massive cliffs visible in the top of the picture. These cliffs and other height features will be made to look normal once development continues. Just as a brief thing, I want to do an article about the problems I currently face in terms of gradients on the route, but more on that in the coming days!
