6. Avoid all spot heights with a value of 2;
7. Always turn right from a white road onto a higher class road;

10. Finish at a bridge (TC3).
Route Card Commentary
Part 1
Accurate plotting of the blackspots should have left only one possible route. RC3 was tough, but I felt a valid way of verifying the route. Regulation 17 tells you that a blackspot does not add any 'artificial' NTR's for counting purposes.

Part 2
I hope you didn't get run over by a train whilst sitting at TC2 and plotting pt2... You had to visit GS3556 to comply with rule 5, many missed this and hence SH in 3656.

RC8 - Two possibles, to allow for equidistant routes from 3555 to 3654.
