Any of the perms will be a nice day out (the Around Weald Expedition is, however, less refined than the others - more for the hard men and women).
Martin and my perms have different tempos. If I was to summarisr Martin's routes, it is that they hunt out hills like a dog hunting for a buried bone. My perms are more longer climbs with rolling bits between. Whilst they hunt out hills also, I am more direct, like a dog chasing a ball.
TBF I could hardly start with a blank canvas, even using every possible climb with the exception of Kidds Hill AAA Milne only spends about 36 of its 105km on the Forest; I've added some local quiet lanes from mine and other peeps' routes
Reliable is also not mine, it was a Reliability Trial route designed to be covered at speed (and IIRC over half the original field were out of time having hopelessly underestimated how long a hilly 100 in East Sussex takes). But it does benefit from long sweeping descents with good wide well surfaced roads. Both of my routes have flattish sections before the final onslaught at the finish. But both can easily be ridden on a bike with a normal double chainset and cassette. They are also more info-controlled compared to Billy's
Meridian and AAA Milne (new version) share some common turf, mainly around Ashdown Forest although in a different order. I was even thinking of running both on the same day as a calendar event but thar would require more helpers,
I've only got 3 more nocturnal rides to do this season, last night's muggy damp ride with freshly deposited gravel and misty glasses and dark roads which LED lights don't illuminate well convinced me of the wisdom of this,
all being well my last one will also be my last ride of Hillbilly's old original AAA Milne route
