How to use it
Pick the first stop, check it directly, then keep the later steps loose. The value is not a strict itinerary; it is knowing the next move if the first idea does not work.
This version stays around Old Town, with about 0.5 km between selected stops.
Every stop in this plan is within about 600 metres of Waverley Station, roughly 8 minutes on foot. Allow extra time for the platform.
