TC2A @ SH98 in 9619, depart NW
TC2B @ SH87 approach NE.

In a similar vein .... I plotted various routes from TC2A to TC2B and found that the time taken could be calculated from the following rules :

If I almost touch GN9 twice on a white road, add 1 second.
If I go over a railway on a white road, add 2 seconds.
If I go through 922173, add 4 seconds.
If I pass Greenacre Farm, add 8 seconds.
If I visit a Camp Site, add 16 seconds.
If I go through GN3, add 32 seconds.
If I pass "PAGE'S PARK STA", add 64 seconds.
If I pass the entrance to Hall Farm, add 128 seconds.
If I go under a railway on a yellow road, add 256 seconds.
If I go through a + breaking an orange road, add 512 seconds.
If I cross an ETL more than twice on an orange road, add 1024 seconds.
If I cross GL24 four times, add 2048 seconds.
If I cross the River Ouzel on a red road, add 4096 seconds.
If I cross an ETL on a red road, add 8192 seconds.

The route I eventually chose took me 2 hours 52 minutes 03 seconds.

Link to TC3A.

2 hours 50 minutes 27 seconds = 10,227 seconds = 1 + 2 + 16 + 64 + 2048 + 8096 seconds.

Regularity Test

TC5A @ RRYY in 9433

On green roads I average 60 kilometres per hour; on red roads 50 kph; on orange roads 40 kph; on yellow roads 30 kph; and on white roads 20 kph. My average speed is based upon "as the Crow flies" distances between undisclosed timing points at junctions.

The time taken in minutes:seconds between consecutive timing points was as follows: 1:26, 3:45, 0:28, 2:24, 3:06, 2:25, 2:06, 4:30, 0:09, 0:56, 1:27, 0:29, 2:39, 2:11, 2:03, 7:27, 2:57, 1:14, 1:57, 0:05, 2:42, 1:48 Link to TC6A.

Go through SH x four times	Visit GN2
Go through an and eb	Avoid SHs x+54
Pass the road leading to Cottesloe Fm	Go through 8328
Pass through three red diamonds - only one exclusively on a yellow road	Visit "Mon"
Join a green road twice from a white road	Forget to cross a bridge on a yellow road
Use a red road lay-by	Visit "Castle"
Visit "Vicarage"	Cross GL32
