TC1 at SH172 in 0424

CRO except as specified below

You arrive at the Pigeon Loft (TC1), collect 24 homing pigeons and leave at 9:00am
Following your route you release a pigeon every 10 minutes (so the first pigeon is released at 9:10am)
You make a note of the type of road where the pigeon was released, taking the shortest route using CRO between the release points, only using a White Road when a pigeon is to be released on that White Road
All the pigeons fly in a straight line back to the pigeon loft at an average speed of 30mph where they clock in electronically to 0.01s

Route Card Commentary
Homing Pigeons. This one was disliked by many competitors due to the number of possibilities for each location, but it should have been possible to narrow them down enough to work out the route. I wanted one section to sort everyone out and it needed to be in the first 10 sections to ensure it counted in the tie deciding furthest cleanest if necessary.
