Well this Google map option shows 206 miles from Brixham to Chiswell Green, via A303 though, so could be OK on a tank???

That's my proposed route along the A303 there's a services @ Deptford just before Stonehenge for a coffee and re-fuel if needed.

Good to meet u Richie. Although it was too hot for pie and mash.

Blimey, you lot are all getting excited. Me and Richie couldn't wait so I met him at manzes at Peckham. Mind you a 35c day is a little hot. Although Richie didn't seem to notice the heat as he was wearing a fleece :O

Fishtown...

I do your route quite a lot. If you need a stop, rykas just off the m25 at j9 down the a24 towards dorking.

I think he's planning to run around northern M25 route, what is there along the A12, is the 8 Ball diner active?

That shut down quite a while back. Shame.

Few stop off suggestions...

Hylands park
Paper mill lock

Do they have Tea options?

And after the pie/mash there always the pudding .Jeiled ells ..

Tea rooms in Tiptree are well worth a visit. it's only about 30 miles south of Ipswich. There is even a museum attached which is free to enter and gives an insight into bygone days at Tiptree's jam factory.
It's a pity, as at this time I am not at home on the Saturday, otherwise I would have offered to make a brew for the traveller(s). Also, still not sure about being around on the Sunday, that's why I have not put my name down for the run which, would be local for me.
