| Jul 21, 2017 at 23:49 | comment | added | lly | This is a lovely phrase, but it's only the opposite in a very complete sense. What OP was really looking for was "the distance if one does need to stick to existing roads"... not "the distance if one gets off of the main roads and winds around in the back country with complete disregard for efficiency or time." | |

But when a question can potentially get 20 answers, expecting someone reading the answers to use google 20 times is placing a very high burden on the reader. | |

In ELU though, you need to provide a link to examples or a description of how it would be used otherwise you'll be voted down. Assume your audience is managers unable to use google and used to demanding superfluous waffle to justify their existence. | |

| Jul 20, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | AndyT | Welcome to ELU. Please provide more explanation - what does "The Scenic Route" mean? Is it a commonly recognised phrase? Does it fit into a sentence in the same way "as the crow flies" does, or would the sentence need rephrasing? | |
