Cannot extend route/need "draw lines" feature

i am keen to support the site, and am paying for the very great benefit of the OS maps.

Obviously i am new to it (years of RWGPS) but i have a problem with getting the map to follow what seems to be a perfectly legit route

on this route i want to extend NW onwards. https://cycle.travel/map/journey/332372  Whatever I do it forces a multi km detour to continue.  Is there a draw lines facility to allow me to override it.  If not the only option seems to be to start a new route from there. which is not great

final question, the route has km marks in yellow.  What are the blue circle blobs with numbers?  is there an online FAQ/how to do the basics guide?

thanks all!

planning a route without knowing the destination

My most usual way of planning a route is to start from home and then click on the map on what looks like appropriate roads. I have signed up today to get the ordinant survey access which looks great and I want to try this instead of ride with GPS. However it only seems possible to start planning a route where you put a destination in, which then comes up with a blue line on the map that may well be a route that I am not interested. So how do I start a route with a dot on the map and then allows me to click where I want to go? Particularly with the ordnance survey map I judge my ability as excellent in terms of choosing the route rather than the app to do it for me... If it is an area I don't trust the app better to choose the right route
