I'm planning to ride from my in-laws in Llanelli over to west London in early September and could do with some route advice/pointers.
My thoughts were to head up north towards Llandovery, the A40-ish for a bit before cutting a little north again and pass almost directly due east via Hereford, Ledbury, Evesham, Banbury, Buckingham before dropping down through Tring and Chesham and into the west of London.
I'd want to avoid A roads as much as is practically possible. If there are any 'must do' sections then let me know. Equally, and perhaps more importantly, any 'definitely avoids'. Also, if you think there's a better way of going. I don't want to spend too long over it - 3 days tops. I'll be travelling light so can aim at anything up to 200km a day.
Murky buckets!
