A creaking shell of its former creaking shell?I've been working full-time (sort of) for the last 4 months, I'll have you know. My body is but a creaking shell of its former blah blah blah...

Sound advice, TMN! Mumbles digs can be arranged...Just to be boring and serious for a moment Rich, please don't drive unless you can delay coming back until after a good night's sleep.
Still thinking about it. This has been on my list of things to do for a few years.
From Welling? Surely not?
Let me blow @martint235 's trumpet for him
He's done LEL
He's done more SMRbtH's then I can remember
He's cycled to Wooton Basset and back from Welling
He's cycled to Nelson in Lancs from Welling..
and so forth..
See where this is going Carl?
Well! If he can do it from Welling I can do it from Oxfordshire, though I never gave it any thought. So, the questions are: is @martint235 doing it this time, and could I tag along at some point and how is he getting back?
I'm not doing it this time unfortunately. I am determined to do it though. There is usually a small contingent rides out from London but I've not heard anything this year. My fitness is also a concern at the mo. I would be planning on getting a train back from Swansea when I do finally get round to doing it. I think it's about 160 miles from Welling to Cardiff so I'd be looking at a 220 mile ride overall which isn't the longest I've done but still not something to be entered into lightly hence my concerns about my current fitness.Well!

From Welling it'll be a lot more than 160. BikeHike reckons 190 or so.I'm not doing it this time unfortunately. I am determined to do it though.

Haven't done any plotting but Google reckons 162 miles (although I doubt I'd be using the recommended M4). With 190 it would push it up to a 250 miler which is still doable particularly as the end would be done at FNRttC speeds. I wouldn't want to do it the other way round though.From Welling it'll be a lot more than 160. BikeHike reckons 190 or so.
