I recently tried to use bikehike for the first time in a while.  (Always found it very useful for just quickly uploading a .gpx file or plotting a route to get an idea of how long and how hilly it is.)

I know it was a bit broken a few years back when Google changed their charging structure, but it seems to be completely borked now.  I just get an error message saying: "API Key has been blocked by Administrator"

Does anybody know - is that it dead now forever?  Seems rather a shame if so.

I get the same result.

I really hope it's not the end as it was my favourite bike / walk planning site.

Yeah dead for me too.

I used to use this a lot, but recently swicthed to these guys https://www.walklakes.co.uk/ which has an excellent online mapping facility which I use in the way I used bikehike before. They do 1:25 Os and 1:50 Uk wide. Free as well but worth a donation IMHO.

I then export to Viewranger app and Fenix 6 watch for offline access when on the hills.

Looks good.  I'll have a play with that tomorrow, thanks.
