Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: planning record, not independently verified geometry.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distances and riding times are planning figures. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Core zone 1
Core zone is bureaucratic language, and the thing it describes is simply the heart of the hill: the central area of the Qal'at al-Bahrain archaeological site, where the oldest and most important remains lie. It sits on the north coast of Bahrain, between the shore and the palm gardens, and a short distance from the suburbs of Jidd Hafs and Madinat Isa. The idea of a core zone, with a buffer around it, is how UNESCO protects its sites from being swallowed by the surrounding city, and this one was marked out when the site was inscribed in 2005.
