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. The distance follows the streets; the minutes are an easy-pace estimate. Opening hours are whatever OpenStreetMap has on record: check the volunteer-run ones before you set out.
