Routes

[Sittingduck]

Go on Google maps - put two postcodes in - your home one and one nearby. When it shows you the route you can click on the line drawn and drag it to wherever you want - Google will recalculate the distance for you so you can add a bit or move a bit here and there until you get something suitable.

This is an excellent way to plan routes. I put in 3 points:

A: Home
B: Somewhere roughtly where I want to end up at the far-side of my loop
C: Home

Then add clickpoints and drag the blue line to exactly where you fancy going (also to boost / reduce the mileage). The route distance will be automatically updated and displayed on the left. Make sure you select walk not car.
