I did my first DIY by GPS last summer and Paul was really helpful taking me through all the steps required. I did the Ditchling Devil as I had missed the calendar one. (Which I hope to do this year.) Using GPS means you don't have to bother with stopping at controls and go by feel. I would drop him an email as he answered all my questions carefully. But basically you can enter last minute and keep one eye on the weather forecast. Then ride the route and submit your track log by email. He gave me some tips about trimming the transit rides and how make sure that that time stamp info doesn't get stripped. But yeah, wouldn't be a BRM if you're wanting to qualify for PBP.
