I'll leave the minor spelling and typo details to the little guys (and gals). This one is big enough for Ms. Annoying Grammar Gal of the Day to address.
The definition of the word "whence" includes the concept of flow, either directional or temporal. Thus using the word "from" is superfluous.
The phrase should read, "... you will very quickly be on your way back down to the rec
leagues whence you came. rolleyes."
There will be a test at the end of the thread.
