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:
Both bits of advice I have followed and can confirm.

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.
