Links to the files of this Tour
The all important file for Google Earth can be found here.
This is in fact a KMZ file. If you unzip it, you will obtain a file called "doc.kml' and a folder, called "images". We suggest that you rename the file "doc.kml" to "HesbayeCastleTour.kml" and the image folder to "HesbayeImages". These two files must stay together (not in different directories). This way, when you open the .kml file in Google Earth, you will get the images from the images folder with it.
Here you will find the GPX files.
Unzipping this file, will bring you the files "HesbayeBurdinneCastleTrack.gpx", "HesbayeBurdinneCastleWaypoints.gpx", and "HesbayeBurdinneCastleTrackAndWaypoints.gpx". These files can be opened in Google Earth.
