You might fall off a cliff or 2 but whats life without a bit of risk 
BRILLIANT idea!!! Was thinking along those lines anyway, but being new to the area does make it awkward.
I'm thinking of walking the SouthWest Ultra-Trail route. It's only 100 miles, but would be well worth doing.
The Southwest is a really good trial as it tackles all hills prettymuch straight on as the costline removes 50% of the opportunities for gentler inclines.
I thing this is a far better challenge than the road route you've planned.
Good luck either way

RE: MEET ME, Next Week!
Another option down your neck of the woods is the "Two Moors Way", starts at the bottom end of Dartmoor and finishes at the top end of Exmoor, about 100 miles in total.

Would definitely be a challenge in the winter especially if the weather turned when you were on the moors

RE: MEET ME, Next Week!
Well done mate, you just need the right frame of mind, I can remeber a few years back I jacked a job in and walked home in the huff, 100 odd miles and several hours later I was home but still marching around the house and still cursing and swearing. Like I said you just need the right frame of mind.

RE: MEET ME, Next Week!
I'm going to be following the SouthWest Ultra-Trail (100 miles) route in 2 weekends time. Apparently it's hilly as f**k, and going to be very painful!!! I like the sound of that.
Anyone want to come and join us? The wife is joining in too!

Cool. Sounds like a plan.
Not this weekend, next weekend.
