Well I'm seeing some feedback off-list, and there have been a few steps forward, 
but The one thing I have finally established is that off the 5 routing engines 
so far tested, none can handle the roads in the Cotswolds. I have yet to get 
some confirmation, but Yours, OSRM, OSMAnd, MapQuest and CloudMade all fail to 
pick up tertiary routes unless one is actually ON the road in question? As a 
result they make detours via other roads to get around those sections and add 
ten's of minutes to a journey. The biggest so far is a 10 mile diversion north, 
but a couple of miles are added to journey south, via four more roundabouts.
