ChrisHB Feb 2018 7:43pm, 18 Feb 2018 16,146 posts	0 ChrisHB Instruction when I understand it a little bit more! As for the second case, I would record a 0,01 mile run on the surface in the missing zone.

Cerrertonia Feb 2018 8:23pm, 18 Feb 2018 7,477 posts	0 Cerrertonia I've done a few runs along rivers recently - the Cam/Ouse from Cambridge to the Wash at Kings Lynn and the Lee to the edge of London at Waltham Cross. Means my area of contiguous zones now includes Cambs, Suffolk, Norfolk, Herts, Essex, Bedfordshire, Northants (and I suppose Huntingdonshire if we used traditional counties.) Could add Lincolnshire to that list if I do a few miles of the path around the Wash.

EdJ Feb 2018 9:39pm, 19 Feb 2018 223 posts	0 EdJ Ooh - I've had my eye on doing Great Ouse up to Kings Lynn. And the Lee is also on the to-do list! As is the Narr. And Yare. I recently did the Peddars Way ultra, which was the missing link (after several years of work) to gives me a contiguous run of zones from Bristol to the East Norfolk coast. I now need to go back to Bristol and do the downstream bit of the River Avon to connect the Atlantic to the Wash. Contiguity rules!
ChrisHB Feb 2018 9:52pm, 19 Feb 2018 16,152 posts	0 ChrisHB It certainly does. And I need to do a contiguity count of my zones.
ChrisHB Feb 2018 10:21pm, 19 Feb 2018 16,153 posts	0 ChrisHB As far as the multi-coloured map goes, I have been struck down by idleness. You need to have extracted KML files for each date you want to differentiate. Ideally that would be Jan 1st every year, I suppose. Open the KML file with Notepad. After that it is a matter of editing the [color]7df00000[/color] which occurs once in each file (where I've put square brackets they are really less-than and greater-than symbols). those numbers are: 7d = opacity f0 blue first 00 green second 00 red I've made some assumptions about how good you all are with computers. I don't mind going back to basics if anyone needs it. If anyone is still interested, you will either have to make your own progress or wait for me.
Cerrertonia Feb 2018 10:43pm, 19 Feb 2018 7,486 posts	0 Cerrertonia The Ouse up to Kings Lynn is very easy because the train line runs pretty much parallel, so no need to do it in both directions (same is also true for much of the R. Lea/Lee of course). You do have to occasionally take care with navigation because fenland drainage has created a number of parallel rivers - it splits about 5 ways at Denver sluice. The Stour through Suffolk may be next, although the SVP spends a lot of time away from the actual river, so the Lark may be a better local choice for me. I've walked the Peddars Way, but not run it, so not in conquercise.
