Thanks a lot folks. Spurred on by some of the comments, I've been surfing to find such sites as SABRE's road list, the RAC route planner and even a site on the A361. Wow, I had no idea there was a system to this (appropriate adjective here) web of roads, nor how much information was available for so many of them.

I do thank you for the comments, especially for the primer by Struan and Bob.

My wife is busy with her road atlas and laptop, I'm on the GPS software and we're both making some headway in sorting this out. (It really is too bad that we are, once again, likely trying to see too much in too short a time. A hard habit to break; we both grew up in families where two weeks in the summer was of the "get in the car and go as far as you can before you have to turn back to be at work on Monday". Both the kids have it too...)

Cheers, Dave
