Did this with a couple of mates at the weekend. Left off midday from Twickenham (one of our crew was running very late and needed his bike fixing). Very chilled pace with a few beers and some food along the way. Only made it to Shere before my mate was too tired. So we got a bit drunk and wild camped in some fields just outside Shere. Really easy going after that. Miles flew by and we were in Brighton before long. Path is currently closed a mile or two from the coast. We bombed down the main road to Brighton instead. It was shit. Don't do that. There will be another way to the coast and a quieter route. Otherwise its a great route. Would definitely do it again rather than go by road.
We 'mostly' went by the BHF gpx file. I say mostly because it wouldn't load on my Garmin (edge 705 - too many waypoints apparently) and my mates' doesn't have maps, just a squiggly line. So we went wrong a few times and took some wonky diversions.
80 miles over just over 8 hours. with 8 beers, some whisky and 4 coffees. 1 campfire. 1 woodland number 2!
Great fun.
