I have added a plot of the Southern Upland Way to my Download page – the file is the standard .gpx format so it is useable in a wide range of GPS units and applications. I am usiing it in Memory Map and on my iPhone.
There were some problems plotting the route on my 50k OS map – at the following locations – the route was not clear on the map.
- Caldons Wood
- Sanquhar
- Wanlockhead
- Sweetshaw Brae
- Beatnock
- Galashiels
- Abbey St Bathans
If you use this route you will have to take care over those sections.
I plotted the route to skirt Glengaber Hill.
This is a walk I am planning to undertake in the summer of 2013. The plan at this time is to take fourteen days, carry lightweight camping gear and to stay in a mixture of campsites, wild camping and bed and breakfasts. Carrying food as required and resupplying along the route.
