I think abbreviations help part way, but excluding all the repetitive elements, and adding a little structure goes much further:

All distances are in meters; directions are ordinal points (using the abbreviations for North East South and West); and they are approximate.

Red and blue lines on a map would be far superior though. (But trying to make those directions fit the map is painful.)
