NEED HELP PLANNING YOUR ROUTE?
On the back page of this leaflet there is a map of Rutland that will give you a better idea of the geography of England’s smallest county. To plan your own route in detail why not use our Create a Route program downloadable from the website? Based on your likely average speed, it will calculate how long it will take you from one village to the next, cumulative time taken and mileage, superimpose your proposed route on a printable map, etc. If you don’t like how it is shaping up – you can change it.
REMEMBER when you are planning your route this is a sponsored charity event. Don’t forget to ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you.
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANK YOU!
