Catching up on this thread - I’m now based near Tewkesbury, and Marks audaxes are really well run.
You can train it to Gt Malvern direct from Paddington on Great Western. Plenty of campsites round here or Id be happy give up the spare room to a forumenger who needs it.
Easy ride to Tewkesbury from Malvern - probably 45mins at an easy pace and all downhill. The place I’ll be renting from next month will be even closer to Tewkesbury too.
I’ve got a 200k on Saturday - first one since before covid so looking forward to it now I’ve got a few 100k rides under my belt over the last month.

Ealing to Slough to Great Malvern might work. 2.5hrs and no trip into Paddington.
I think the problem with most of these is they don't run early enough on Sat so it would be an after work train on Fri and the overnighter and I hate getting bikes on GWR trains with their stupid racks.
Official campsites or wildcamping spots? Lots of the proper campsites close for off-season.

just catching up myself - any ones you recommend - looking for short 100km for now - I'm just in Oldbury, Birmingham so easy drive down the M5

Anyone know of a nice way to get there by train from west London?
All I can come up with is:
Paddington -> Tewks or Ealing -> Reading -> Swindon -> Tewks
GWR trains are shit for bikes with their random 2 bike slots and it'd be Friday just after peak hour so wonder if there's a less stressful way of getting over there. Missus not keen on overnight ride over there.
