Epic 4 day tours - ideas?

A 2 years ago a group of 10 pals did Way of the Roses in 2 days - wanting to go better last year we cycled 360 miles in 3 days across 5 nations from Carlise to Stranraer, Belfast to Dublin and then Holyhead back to Manchester.
Wanting to go bigger and better still, this year we did 500 miles, 5 nations from Rotterdam to Aachen, to Bastogne (via Lux), to Roubaix finishing up in Calais. Was a real big challenge for us and fortunate enough to have a few mates drive for ‘support’
We’re already looking to next year and wondered if anyone had any ideas. Ideally supported again meaning we can focus on riding and not too difficult logistically.
Thinking 3-4 days 80-140 miles per day, ideally not too mountainous due to the varying standard of the group.
Much appreciated!

if you start out from Manchester direction , maybe look at 4 days round North Wales. A bit of map surfing and im sure you could come up with a few routes , either in a loop or radial out and back from a base. I suggest this as I think its a fine place for riding.0

Go right around Devon. Plenty to keep you amused. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/107414760

What about Coast to Castle (Newcastle - Edinburgh) 200 miles cycle through to Glasgow(40) and then (Loch and Glens) the Glasgow Inverness route(214 miles). Some fantastic scenery and great routes. These were my re-introduction to road cycling about 6 years ago.
Newcastle, Berwick, Glasgow, Aberfeldy, Inverness.0 -
