KEY TO ROUTE NOTES
1 October 2008  http://www.squarewheels.org.uk/bike/routeCamOx/

Commands (usually one manoeuvre at a time, command at start of line)
--------
       R = Turn Right
       L = Turn Left
      SO = Straight On.  “SO (R/L)” describes a staggered crossroads where
           the route involves making a right turn, then a left turn.
  Follow = follow the major road, i.e. that with precedence in motoring law.
           NB priorities are not necessarily as maps would suggest.
Continue = just ride down the road, until the next instruction becomes relevant.


Description keywords
--------------------
  C-road = a thicker yellow road on Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 “Landranger” maps
  D-road = a thinner yellow road on Landranger maps
      SP = SignPosted to...
     tfl = traffic lights (at junction, NOT pedestrian crossing)
    rdbt = roundabout
       T = T-junction
     imm = immediately
   90deg = 90-degree corner
     RHS = right-hand side
     LHS = left-hand side
    thro = through
    Xrds = cross-roads (applicable whether or not a Give Way is encountered)
     rly = railway
     stn = station
    elev = elevation = height above sea level
 (care!) = warning of a manoeuvre requiring extra care to complete safely
 (Look!) = flagging-up of a turning which is easily missed


Notes
-----
“R” and “L” ALWAYS involve NOT Following!

A T-junction is defined as one where the road you are on comes to an end,
and you have to Give Way and turn either right or left.

CAPITALS are used ONLY for names of towns & villages which are visited.
SignPosts to places NOT visited are (in brackets).

“right”, “left” are NOT commands, descriptive only.  Likewise RHS, LHS.

“right” ALWAYS applies to a direction, NEVER refers to completeness
(consider “Go right into the village”!)

Amenities:
   [ Directions to useful amenities (water, food, toilet) are in indented
     squared brackets like this.  To regain route, retrace steps (but
     with due regard for one-way streets etc!), and then comply with the
     instruction following. ]

Cumulative mileages are shown (in brackets) between paragraphs, and refer
to the point reached after completing the last instruction.

Vertical distances (e.g. elevations) are in metres, and shown as “m”.
Travel distances up to 800 metres are shown in metres, shown “metres”.
Greater distances are shown in miles, shown “miles”.

Additional information about a hazard that carries the “(care!)” keyword
may be inserted before its exclamation-mark.

Items under review or awaiting confirmation are shown {in curly
brackets}.
