A2:   Ones left-hand turn again.  First woman right-hand turn second man, then cast, second woman move up.

B1:   First man cast up the outside, first woman up the middle; man down the middle, woman cast down the outside.  Ones two-hand turn.

B2:   First man up the middle, first woman cast up the outside; man cast down the outside, woman move down the middle.  Two-hand turn.

That's the original B1, but the fair-shares version is:
