Does the route change year to year? Because if it's the same as last year, then someone probably has the correct route as a GPX track, yeah?
Mind you, the Beast from the East doesn't have a GPX track either. I could make a point to point route up for these using the Garmin software but then I'm investing more time than I care to and Garmin software make hippy go crazy..

The Severn View Travelodge is the usual cheap hotel people use for the BCM. It's just a short ride over the bridge to Bulwark and the community centre (which is also good after finishing). There will be loads of people staying there. The Boar's Head (I think) in Aust also gets some visitations on the Friday night.
Relying solely on GPS turn-by-turn navigation for the BCM could be "interesting" in places; the long footbridge next to the railway line at Barmouth for example. I doubt many GPSes will route along that. Following a line on the map will get you round that; the tricky thing is knowing when to ignore the GPS and when to follow it blindly.
