You can uncheck the "follow roads" box and do some bits manually.

Aha, useful. Thanks. Still, does unfortunately require some local knowledge. Tis pretty impressive all the same.

Tried to use a similar (same?) site to route a recent East Lundarn to Cambridge route which suggested I use the M11 :shock: In the end a mate wrote down a couple of B route numbers and we winged it
Edit - it did help that an awful lot of roads on the route were called Cambridge Road :idea:

The gate at the start



already disguising shortness of breath



very steep but photo not doing justice



Loch at the top of the climb



The wind hits you on this small incline and it can be worse than it looks

the last bit before heading downhill, and a sneaky peak of the castle

Ah, all too familiar.... I think the steep bit is about 10%, give or take. That's the usual gradient where I run out of gears. I snapped a chain right on that bit once, that's how damn hard I go. Ouch.

It's not the prettiest, but it does look good.

That's quite cool, actually.
