MBR threw darts at a map to decide where to ride. Pa!! I was doing that years ago! In fact my method is far more high-tech. I use a spreadsheet to generate random OS grid refs and then I plot a route between them. Once-upon-a-time it was done with a map and pencil. Nowadays, I use a combination of Memory Map (1:50000 OS maps), online 1:25000 maps on the OS website, wheresthepath.co.uk to link aerial photos with OS maps, and GPSies.com or bikely.com.
MBR, I laugh at your feeble attempts! As it happens they ended up with 2 pretty rubbish routes. That can happen, you have to exercise a little pragmatism. It won't work if your start and finish cross a large town or city, etc. Discard such attempts! I've created some quite good routes this way in the past. Think I'll give it whirl again. :)
