Abbreviations in route descriptions

    Hi again! 🙂

    Which route are you looking at? I’ll have a look and will post their meanings if I know them.

    (You are right - there shouldn’t be abbreviations that aren’t explained.)

    Hi :)

    I'm looking at Romlor Four (https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Romlor/9821).

    If you don't know the meanings, that's ok - I really am happy winging it to find a better route. I'm mostly looking for confirmation that it's considered as part of the rules for adding a route. I haven't come across this problem on any other route so far.

    I'm guessing it's the Ordnance Survey Headquarters. A neat landmark to pass on a Slow Way!

    Incidentally, I'm based in Reading and hoping we can eventually get a verified set of routes between Reading and the south coast. I'll be pushing south, maybe following the River Test.

    Really sorry, this is my fault.

    OS = Ordnance Survey
    SW = should read SW of the same road - SW is south west.

    I'll try and be less cryptic next time!

    Thanks so much Andrew.  I was thinking SW = Slow Ways.

    Best wishes,
    Cristie

    I plead guilty to using abbreviated compass points in my route descriptions and reviews - I thought these were generally accepted!
