Thanks very much for the pointer, looks like it could be useful! Thats what I really hate about the LCN (and cycle routes in general). I like routes that are direct and with a minimum of junctions so I can navigate them at a comfortable speed. Add signs that can be read froma distance far enough away to appropriately manouveur for the turn they indicate.. Indeed. That description really doesn't apply to any LCN routes i can think of. Still, once you know the route, they can be useful. It would probably be more useful just to bite the bullet and use big roads, though. Now, if i plug in my actual start and end postcodes, i get this route: START [N76EP] QUEMERFORD ROAD 142 METRES LEFT STOCK ORCHARD CRESCENT 213 METRES LEFT CALEDONIAN ROAD 641 METRES AHEAD THE DRIVE 203 METRES AHEAD CALEDONIAN ROAD 1,546 METRES RIGHT PENTONVILLE ROAD 104 METRES AHEAD EUSTON ROAD 665 METRES AHEAD UPPER WOBURN PLACE 63 METRES RIGHT ENDSLEIGH GARDENS 228 METRES AHEAD GOWER PLACE 180 METRES LEFT GOWER STREET 67 METRES END [WC1E6BT] The start isn't right - N7 6EP isn't Quemerford Road, it's Dunford Road, which is on the other side of Holloway Road, so there's no practical through route. Still, i know how to get to Caledonian Road, so it's not too bad. The middle bit, Caledonian Road, is what i do now. The end, along Euston Road, is worse than what i do now, i'd say; it stays on Euston Road for longer, and makes its approach down a busier street. Still, i'll give it a crack and see if it helps. Incidentally, cyclemaps.net puts its route at 2.57 miles, and the Highbury Corner - Angel route at 3.24 (although that's via Euston Road, not the cycle route). tom -- Once you notice that something doesn't seem to have all the necessary parts to enable its functions, it is going to mildly bug you until you figure it out. -- John Rowland |
