Just search RWGPS, you can download other peoples routes for the garmin, like @Ajax Bay said above.

And here's my search for you (50km plus).

it fits in a jersey pocket and costs just a few pounds:

Only if you've got a bloddy great 'jersey' pocket, it's not raining, have got more than a 'few pounds' and aren't going very far (1:25,000 map). Now if you'd suggested a 1" to 4 miles atlas page . . . that would have had a +1 from me.

Nah, it's still slow and expensive to update that with new developments.
