CPL experience requirements

A simple question really.

In LASORS is specifies that for the CPL experience on a modular course an applicant must have 20 hours VFR time as PIC including a cross country flight of 300nm in the course of which landings at two areodromes different from the aerodrome of departure are to be made.

My question is about the 300nm trip.

Is that 300nm from the departure aerodrome or is it a route distance of 300nm?

In the US the requirement is for one cross-country flight of not less than 300 nautical miles total distance, with landings at a minimum of three points, one of which is a straight-line distance of at least 250 nautical miles from the original departure point. This has to be done SOLO.
