A Pleasant Perm 300 ?

[Banjo]

Recently did the "Rough diamond" 300 perm. Its a fabulous ride ,smooth roads ,an overdose of scenery and importantly for me not too tough .

I would like to do another 300 Perm ,can anyone recommend one for a full value rider who would struggle to complete a hilly 300 so definitely no AAA versions please.

Heart of England looks good but no perm version as far as I know.

If you like the route of the HoE, then why not ask the organiser if you could do the route as a DIY perm? It may be the reason there isn't a listed perm is that they struggle to find a 24hr control for one of the points.

I mean to do the Full Monty Perm at some point. I tried in 2013 but turned back after 80km of riding into the wind and pouring rain

Full Monty looks promising . Cheers

looking at the logistics of it I am thinking now that a DIY starting close to home would be far easier/cheaper to organize.
May be able to add a 100 km loop to a DIY200 I have done previously.

I did the Monty 300 as my 1st 300 back in 2012 when it was a calendar ride. Superb route, complete with a couple of heavy thunderstorms! A bit lumpy in the middle but nothing to worry about.

What is it about 300s? I did a DIY a couple of years ago, and it rained very heavily - all around me, but not on me. I got a bit of drizzle, but more than one town I stopped in were partially under water from heavy rains that missed me. So weird.

+1 for the DIY. If you have a GPS, you don't even need to worry about controls being open.
