Runners beware! The mile markers are only approximately 1 mile apart. Some are lost, and some are in the "wrong" place. In the space below, TowpathGuy will put the approximate position of each Mile Marker (and other landmarks) and the distance of each one from one of the towpath entrances. For now, all distances will be from the Landing Lane gate. Have patience as this list will take some time to accumulate. Distances are measured to the middle of the landmark, unless specified otherwise.
