Route Card Commentary
I just had to use the excellent Google Maps somewhere.

I don't think anyone had a problem in what to do, but part 2 proved to be more thought provoking than I intended. Thoughts centred at the "junction" at MR39091682 - there isn't one since the white road runs parallel to the yellow. This meant that the (staggered?) five way junction at MR38721637 would have to be used twice. Depending upon your interpretation of how this could happen led to two possible routes. My intended route was shorter, but I allowed both because of the dilemma this introduced. (Alternative display here)(Alternative PDF here)

There was a marginal GN and SH in part 1 which gave acceptable alternatives.

"I really enjoyed this route card. My house was on the map and I don't think that I have ever travelled many of the roads on the map!" Jasmin Congreve
