I will be arriving in the Harwich on Wednesday and will cycle to Norwich (no problem in finding a route here). A few days later I intend to cycle from Litcham (near Kings Lynn) to Clifton Hampden (near Oxford), which according to the primitive AA route finder is about 150 miles. If anyone knows of a good route (or route segments) between these two places, I'd be very interested. I'm particularly interested in avoiding too much hill climbing if at all possible.
Cheers,
Mads
NB: Being a dark side convert, I'll be riding an SWB recumbent with front fairing and pulling a yak bob trailer.

Have you got a good WH Smiths or book store in your area? An Ordinance Survey map should help (can work out where the hills are from them as well).
True, but the last time I remember trying that I think you needed map numbers 🙂. At a rough guess (if you can get to King's Lynn) 132, 142, 143, 152, 153, 164 and 165 ought to suffice (for the Landrangers anyway, not sure about the pathfinder/explorers)
Alterantively, isn't there the touring series at approx 1 inch to 6 miles or so - not sure how useful that'd be?
