  1. 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).

    Depends on how easy Ordnance survey maps are to find in Denmark I guess

    No worries - I can pick one up when I get as far as Norwich.

    Thanks

    You can buy them online from ordsvy.gov.ukordsvy.gov.uk

    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?
