Thanks...
Thanks for the information. I think I've placed the course now, though there are still a few anomalies. If the course was, as published, 1 in 8.6 overall, then in 1194 yards it would rise over 400 feet. The candidate course I've plotted, which finishes at the road's highest point, rises only 350 feet, which would make the overall course gradient 1 in 10. I can't find a stretch of Mountain Road 1194 yards in length which rises by anything more than about 350 feet. To make that fit properly, it would have to have been over 1300 yards long.
Ho-hum. I'll make a trip to the local library and see if they have anything...
