  1. Does anyone know of a good site that has GPS routes for UK walks, in
    particular the New Forest and Dorset?

    I've googled but can't find any.

  3. www.walkingbritain.co.uk has a variety of walks though not sure if they
    have GPS files.
    www.walkingworld.co.uk does have Memory Map overlays for some of their
    walks which can then be exported to a GPS though you have to pay for
    most of these I think.

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head - hope it's a start.

    If you have Anquet mapping you could try:

    GPS Walker has a few at:

    No GPS waypoints as far as I can see but lots in Dorset:

    I walk in Dorset and the NF every week, so if you are looking for something
    specific I might be able to help. I use Tracklogs V3, but can probably
    convert to other formats.

    Might as well post my site too, but it's Snowdonia specific.

    www.walkeryri.org.uk

    There are files in .gpx, tracklogs and memorymap formats.

    Tracklogs is fast annoying me as the new v3 files are not compatible with
    v2, there is no option to save in a compatible format. This is very poor
    form on their part. I end up having to fiddle about with it in v2, where
    it's usually so mangled, i'd be best start again, before using gpsu to save
    in other formats.

    I made this point to them when V3 first came out. They said it was on their
    list of things to do.
