Triple O Severn - More RouteGadget
Posted by Christophe Mutricy on Thursday 7th May 2009 at 21:57
RouteGadget for the BEOC courses (Mallards Pike and New Beechenhurst) and for the Day 3 Score are now available.

I initially intended to have a combined map for the BEOC courses but, possibly due to the size of the map, RouteGadget wouldn't let me align the controls correctly. So I had to split by maps. The first split times on the New Beechenhurst map are wrong.
