Route Card Commentary
Part 1
A simple bit of maths to give a list of SH's to visit.

Part 2
I wasn't sure how this would go down, there was only one way to find out...
I guess several people used memory map or similar software to help solve this, but there were enough steep hills to make it just about possible by following the map contours.
Perhaps I should have given an overall distance to help with the scale, but I felt this was relatively easy to work out as hill down to the first junction was well defined.
The map wasn't 100% clear at the top of 0629 but most of you figured out that it had to go through the GC and onto the yellow.
