If you have a smart phone (Android or iOS), you can ride Wigley Perms with an eBrevet. This saves you all the trouble of collecting receipts from shops, cafes, or petrol stations, or frees you of the worry of your Garmin batteries giving out.
You don't even need to have your phone on
for all the ride if you are worried about battery life; it only needs to be on (with location services turned on) at each control. You only need mobile data switched on to download the eBrevet before the ride and to upload your completed eBrevet after the ride.
There is also the facility to customise your Perm ride. You can often reverse the direction of the ride, start at a different control, or specify your own start place. Or indeed any combination of these.

Notes
-
Ride Codes:
Format
MW99
, such as
MW25
for the Elementary 50 (see list on the left).
For a customised E-Brevet, the full ride code will have a format of
MW99-nnnnn-yyyymmdd
where
'nnnnn' is your Membership number and
'yyyymmdd' is the date you first created this customised version.
-
At the control:
It can sometimes take a few seconds for your phone to 'catch up' with your location, so if the phone says you are not yet at the control, just cancel and try again. If it still says you're not at the control after a couple of tries,
that's
when you should check that you are in the right place!
If you're not at the control yet, continue until you are.
If you've missed the control you can SKIP it and try to convince the Organiser that your ride should still be validated.
