Route Map: Guide Map

This is an example of one of our Route Maps. with detours. You can see that there is a Direct Route and also some route options(Detours) that get you away from the basic ‘Google’ route.

Along with this, there are some sights and spots marked that could be useful, such as cafes, and petrol stations. Simplicity is the key factor here and these are not meant to be definitive guides.

What this guide IS

This is a very direct and non-waffly route map that gets you from A to B quickly and easily, if you wish, as well as offering longer, more scenic and interesting routes, if you choose to take them. There is some information about the route that can help you to plan for your trip. It could help you choose which bike to take, or where to stay, for example.

What this guide is not

This is NOT a travel guide and it will not give you in depth descriptions of the road surface or the hotels and cafes along the way. There are some places listed and these are places that we know well and use. They have a short description so you can decide if they suit you or not.
