2236.0. "Autoroute anyone?" by WOTVAX::PC0905::MEAKINS (Clive Meakins @OLO) Wed Mar 09 1994 11:52

I'm arranging a Round Table event and need to know what is the shortest distance 
it is possible to drive between Leeds and Altrincham (on road!).

Anyone got a copy of Autoroute they could interrogate for me?

thanks,

Clive.

2236.3smat alec quibbling!WARNUT::ALLENIt works better if you screw it in..Wed Mar 09 1994 13:178

    There is a shorter route but Autoroute doesn't have all of the roads on
    it. I suggest that your event has a qualification in it "using only M,
    A and B roads" otherwise you could get some smart alec quibbling! ;-)
