Just testing your powers of observation young Brian, well done. 10/10 to you, 0/10 for everyone else!
I can confirm the start as BRIDGE MOTORCYCLES. My first post now suitably amended.

That's a lot of main road on that first section Phil.

It's Googlebleedinmaps playing around again. The only main road in my first leg is the A30 from just East of Okehampton to the next junction with the A396 - west of Okehampton - about 3 miles.
