Yet another route plotter, but with some interesting features

http://www.plotaroute.com

Check out their 'Make me a route' feature in the Route Plotter/Plot/Advanced feature. Pick your start point, distance and other options and it will suggest 10 routes. I tried from the Black Horse and it really didn't make such a bad job of it.

Do we really need another off these?

Maybe, maybe not. I tried one of their suggested routes tonight and it was pretty good...
except when it tried to send me through a field near Blackwell Golf Club. A quick check of OSM when I got home showed that it was incorrectly designated as path suitable for bicycles, so it was not the website's routing algorithm's fault, just a mapping error. I have corrected it...

Another reason why everyone should attend Thurs night's session on OSM
