Nothing much to add. If you draw a line on your 1/4 mil from Leigh Flash to the Resevoir in Nantwich, there are a few distinctive landmarks visible. I haven't got my map with me, but from memory, distant landmarks useful for checking gross errors include the cooling towers at fiddlers ferry, Widnes, (to the West), the distinctive shape of the Frodsham Hills (W), Thelwall Viaduct (E), Marbury and Pickmere (E).
Nearer landmarks include Warrington, the distinctive shape of the rivers (?Weaver) and its relationship to the canals, the Salt Works at Northwhich, the sandbanks of Sandiway and Ashcroft Farm?Oulton Park racetrack.
Have a chat with the instructors at Barton, they're all very approachable.
PS just remembered the Croft interchange (junction of m62/m6) and the disused airfield off the M56 (Is it Stretton??) to the North of the corridor, and the radio telescope (?Calverly) to the south.
