Station name, radial, dme. eg: SAM283035 (no spaces). The 283 radial at 35 dme from southampton or the former ADSON waypoint that was removed a while ago. You are right about the 49nm bit as well. I think it is a Euro control rule and your flight plan will get rejected if you don't have a waypoint every 50nm.
Why do it if it's not fun?

S+L and Potkettleblack are both absolutley right. Personally, I'd go for radial+DME from a VOR, using potkettleblack's syntax, as it's easier to plot on a chart. You could also use a VOR or an NDB.
Also worth pointing out that the points must be a maximum of 50nm apart. It doesn't matter if they are less than 49nm apart.
