Did it leisurely over 5 days Thursday to Monday just gone, coming off-route a little at end of day for accommodation (Inns/B&Bs), could not have been luckier with the weather!
Day 1: Winchester > Market Lavington, 80k
Day 2: Market Lavington to Wantage, 75k
Day 3: Wantage to Frensham, 110k
Day 4: Frensham to South Harting, 50k
Day 5: South Harting to Winchester, 50k
Very little in the way of mud apart from a few tree-lined byways that didn't get a chance to dry out, notably around Reading. The route is fantastic, the Ridgeway section from Ogbourne St George down to Streatley a particular highlight along with the sections on the Shipwrights Way. Some of the sandy sections either side of Farnham are a proper slog though.
