50 measured points along the stretch, threaded approximately — the dots are where the B1070 was scored, and the dashed line between them is not its shape. Numbered pins are the stops listed below.

How these scores are measured

Curvy metres is curviness multiplied by length: how much genuine curve this road actually gives you, rather than how tight its tightest corner is. It is the number that separates a mountain pass from a housing estate.
