How the route is built

Shops within about 400 metres of the next one count as one run, walked from the end nearest the centre. Long runs are cut into legs of ten stops or fewer. Distances are straight lines with a pavement allowance, so treat the minutes as a floor. Opening hours are whatever OpenStreetMap has on record: check the volunteer-run ones before you set out.
