In reply to Kevster:
> I know from previous that identifying the banned areas isn't easy as all I have is the rockfax and this doesn't list all routes mentioned as start and finish points.is there a rockfax compatible access thingy anywhere? Just to simplify my technology and select guide book issues....Thanks!
I don't follow what you are after here. The Rockfax (2009) lists all the restrictions, on the routes included, on the pages of the guide which I would have thought made it the 'Rockfax compatible access thingy' you were after. It is from 2009, and the bulk of the restriction on Mowing Word has been lifted since then, but apart from that I am not aware of any other major differences.
The pdf linked to by PJD is useful as well although it doesn't go down to route specifics however information on these is usually posted on the noticeboards in the main car parks.
You can access the relevant BMC RAD notes direct from the UKC Logbook pages as well eg.
