600km Sample route
Google maps
Herewith a sample 600km route plotted on google maps. Don’t get too worried about the finer details, as google only allows you to plot up to a certain number of points – so the map below is not meant to be 100% correct, but rather to give you an idea of the route and the various check points. This is essentially a circle route, starting at the Lido Hotel, and returning there after about 350kms. This is a great opportunity for a hot meal, a shower, some fresh kit and maybe an hours’ sleep – whereafter the second 250km circle starts.
