I'm a novice tourer looking to do a weekend touring and would like to find a circular route somewhere, approx 140-200 miles in length which would be suitable to cover in 2 days with an overnight stop en route.

Based in East Anglia but happy to travel anywhere in England (other than the far South-West). Lots of lovely routes seem to be point to point not circular and I don't want to have to deal with the logistics of that!!

Not too strenuous on the hills would be ideal too - it's so flat round here i'm not well trained on big hills!!

Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Book a b&b and take a round about route to get there. 200 mile route barely needs planning. Just ride to cromer and back unless yiu live in cromer that is.

    It's easy enough to sort out yourself. Choose the area and find the b and b. Then you can plot a route. Just avoid the bigger roads and use Google Street view to check.

    Here is a pretty route. I'll try and find V1 which goes right into Hastings and also through a gravel track through Badgebury Forest which is a bit different and not off road.
