My take from doing a solo recce to Assington:
It's about the range limit for many on unfamiliar routes
Many of the roads I used were in particularly poor condition - narrow deep lanes with heavy deposits of large freshly cracked flints, mostly in the centre but spreading across whole road in many places.
Rather lumpy with some steep descents and climbs with the previously mentioned debris.
Roads used from Assington to Totham were much better than the ones used to get there.
Pub is nice with 4 ales from 2 breweries (Mauldons and Nethergate) at £4.10 per pint (2 sampled), food available with sensible menu and reasonable pricing, large covered patio plus beer garden with standard pub bench tables.
