Travel plans centenary

[Charles Levien]

When driving the Seven I set a route using Google maps and choose the cycling setting, which gives you the best roads for our cars and less chance of holding up fast moving traffic...the result is usually a quiet, relaxing route for those of us not in a hurry!

I use google maps a lot, sometimes using the cycling setting.

This is a good start to point us in the right direction on small roads, but often it includes sections of bridleway or even footpaths. Sometimes a better way is to use the 'car' setting and then drag the route onto smaller roads. It doesn't let you drag onto bridleways.

This is very sensible — we don’t want to hold up fast moving horses!
