Route is online

After much pain with various route planning websites, the route is finally online:
We decided to use Gmaps Pedometer as it was the easiest to use, could follow roads and was far less buggy than the surprisingly broken Google Maps. Our first attempt by Greg, who plotted the entire 840 miles, later discovered that it had only saved the first 175 miles. Naturally, presuming that it was Greg at fault rather than the website, I also spent a long evening plotting the route, only to discover that it was indeed a known bug. Thus I opted for plotting each of the 120 mile stages separately.

We settled on the Cracknell-Romero route since it was more up-to-date than the CTC one we intended to use, and still weighs in at a zippy 842 miles. We'll be tweaking the exact start and end points of each stage depending on convenient places to park the motorhome, but it shouldn't change too much now.
