Hood or bonnet release cable

Guys,

Whether you are a hood or bonnet man, can anyone give me some idea how the release cable is routed under the dash then in the engine bay (photos would be fantastic).  I have far too much slack under the dash.

Cheers

George,
the routing depends a lot on what kind of brackets - if any - you have next to the brake booster.
Here are three versions:

Alfred,

Thanks for the pics - I should have highlighted that my car is RHD, but your photos show that my cable passes through the firewall too far towards the centre - I shall have to find a hole further outboard.

Thanks again for taking the time

Or perhaps you have a LHD cable? 
They may have different lengths since they have different part numbers?
