Oh, I thought (not that I thought about it a lot, I usually skip this
chapter :-)) that they were going in the wrong direction at first to
make sure they were not tailed, but, yeah, you are right, it's more
logical if they just were following the most straight itinerary.

I happened to fly over the Ural mountains a couple of times. It's a
pity there were no HP books back then, or I would have looked down
more attentively :-)!
