RWGPS map on the organiser website (link on the right) >>>
A ride themed around the Dambusters raid. Head out to the Peak District for a circumnavigation of the Derwent Dams, where 617 squadron practiced before the raids, also visit Ripley the birthplace of Barnes Wallis. A few hills but worth it for the views. About 15km of off road cycle path(fine on 25mm tyres), mostly smooth hard packed trail but a short section of about 100 meters is quite rough, still fine on 25mm tyres though. Quite a few hills but nothing crazily steep.
Some pictures from the route are on the webpage link below:
There are some youtube videos of the 2021 event, links below
The control locations pinned on the map top right, are the exact locations of the E-Brevet controls and your phone app will work within 250m of those pinned locations. These locations are also described in the route sheet, which can be downloaded below.

Please note all the Perms are now set up for E-brevet and GPX validation using a virtual brevet card(the same as DIY's).
