Yes, I save them all and upload them for all my reports (since I got my ViewRanger / GPS phone). The mapping facilities on this site are superb and its this feature that really makes WH outstanding for me.
Just noticed it's possible to download users gpx files - I didn't see that little link at the bottom of the maps before. I'd just been downloading the ones from the main route page and modifying them to suit.
I should probably keep my tracks, I've just been deleting them when I get home.

I have a Scarp 1 and have to say it is impressive in the wind though I wouldn't have been keen to test it over the last couple of days...
Oh yeah, didn't think of the tgo people - that would probably explain it.
That's the first time I'd used the cross poles and guylines on the side of my scarp, it certainly seemed very stable, but then again I was in a far more sheltered spot than my last two camps on Quinag and Lochnagar.
