Leedude03 very kindly tipped me off about a very good website for creating (or having the website create for you) walking, running and cycling routes:

Plotaroute.com

It woks really well on a Mac, iPad and iPhone. I know Lee does use Apple based products, so I can only assume it works just as well on android based equipment and on a regular PC

To display the Plotaroute.com route on your phone, Lee suggested an app (suitable for iPhones and android): maps.me

Which again works really well.

His other advice to was:

Before you attempt to transfer anything from plotaroute to your phone, ensure you have maps.me installed , and when you download a route i select file type as GPS, file format as KML (this is what maps.me understands the best) and no for distance markers (this is your choice).

Both bits of advice I have followed and can confirm.
