We had a good look at the routes on Google Earth and decided that the EV5 route above was the best choice it is the longest and goes the highest but only by a small amount and the amount of pleasant traffic free riding was going to make up for the extra distance and elevation gain. I have called the routes EV5 and Francigena but in reality I think my routes are different from any official route by that name, but do follow the same general Direction at least when looking at the overall map.

Course Name	Saved Date	Public	Distance	Elevation Gain
