    5 lads (of very varied fitness, from cat 3 to armchair enthusiast).
    Looking for ideas for a 400 mile tour (planning on taking support van for those struggling).
    Departing from London in September.

    Thanks.

    I’m organizing a charity event in memory of my brother in September.
    We are riding from Central London, to Llanberis (at the foot of Mt Snowdon)
    Looking like around 330 miles at the moment, over 5 days.

    London to Paris is 300 ish miles, add in a wander around Northern France and you would have a very pleasant few days.

    Out through Essex, up through Suffolk and Norfolk, taking in as many breweries as you can. Plus Englands only whisky distillery. And gin at Adnams. Think there is a cider place in there somewhere as well.

    Need to hit the coast for proper seafood in North Norfolk.

    One day I will get this trip bloody organised!

    Down to Dover, over to Dunkirk then follow the LF1 North Sea cycle route up to Hook of Holland/Amsterdam, then ferry back to the UK. Nice flat terrain, loads of campsites and good beer!

    follow the LF1 North Sea cycle route up to Hook of Holland

    My mate and I did that but starting in Hook and going down to Le Havre – we did it the wrong was as into the wind most of the time.

    Train to northern France, ride with the prevailing wind up through Belgium into the Netherlands, stopping at YHAs or B&Bs. Train or ferry back from somewhere like Rotterdam.
