The route cannot be plotted using Autop(i)lot. You should switch Autop(i)lot off and mark your route manually with straight lines from junction to junction at OS 1:50 000 level. You do not need to try and follow the path of the white roads.

Route Card Commentary
Herringbones with no NTR's to worry about. The first four lines were straight forward. The 'circular' bone starts below the crossroads on the far left and works clockwise. The next line worked right to left and the final one left to right. The general standard of plotting was good considering it was against the clock and without AP. The last junction in 9147 and the Imber loop in 9648 were difficult to plot at OS view and required manual intervention to remove penalties, one of the reasons why this relaxed marking method should perhaps only be used occasionally rather than for an entire card.
