Can anyone provide me with routes that you can go for on this ticket and the cheapest way of getting there without a specified return date?

Routes - Take a look at the routeing guide. If you get stuck (instructions here), just let us know which bit you get stuck on!
Cheaper ways - Well, you've ruled out advance purchase, so that means the only way you can save money is by splitting the ticket at intermediate points. Have a play with ticket booking sites and see if it comes up as splitting at places en-route such as Sheffield, Doncaster, etc. This will restrict you to going via that point though.

Well, my gut feeling was wrong, the cheapest ticket is the through ticket.

The off-peak return (Saver) has an 8A restriction (based on the nxec website). Therefore, you can use this on any train service and the most you need to pay is £37.40. This allows return within 30 days of the outward ticket (ie, out on January 1st, return up to and including January 30th).
