You can pick from the following choices:<br />* They are the number of plotted route points along sections of the route<br />* They are the quantities of Jellybabies Andy will be scoffing along the route<br />* They are the numbers of times we're heard to mutter "Just *why* are we doing this?"<br /><br />Once vetted, I'll publish the maps in greater detail along with our route sheet.<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-90359657330306006442013-12-22T16:04:00.526+00:002013-12-22T16:04:00.526+00:00I'm currently struggling with the OS, trying t...I'm currently struggling with the OS, trying to import that facility into the blog.The instructions seem to be written in Greek!<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-62714583314717355452013-12-22T16:03:01.659+00:002013-12-22T16:03:01.659+00:00Easy bags out of Callater.
