A LEL veteran I was chatting to on way back from Dunwich last week told me that doing the fens at night can be a good idea as headwinds are often less bad. Which is presumably generally on the return leg.

IMHO The Holland Fen is the worse part of the LEL.

On the way there or back? Or both?

Worst experience on a bike I've had recently (though there have been quite a lot lately) was Romney Marsh heading out to Dungeness in midday sun on one of hottest days this year with a headwind. Admittedly after doing 200k+ from 2am the night before, but I'm very keen to avoid anything like that again.
