Where does the actually come in? I’ve never seen it suggested that St James the Great wrote anything that is in current publication. He scarcely had time before his head came off. The Epistle got his in quick before the rocks came raining down...
Nice work Rick but very time consuming considering Google Maps simply does it FOR you by hitting "show gradient profile" AND it has the satellite map so you can see where the "bumps" are.
But LenB (and others) seemed more concerned with the...
North is NOT always down eg (pun intended) on The North Downs Way we are going East so North will be up.
