Quite a few of the routes go both directions, but they'll be numbered consecutively. So VR 1010 (I'm making this example up, BTW) might be one set of points, flown clockwise or east to west or whatever, and VR 1011 will be the exact same groundtrack, but in the opposite direction (west to east or counterclockwise or whatever).
Where I used to instruct we used SR-137 quite frequently, but we could have just as easily used SR-138... same route, but flown the opposite direction.
