Yeah. have been looking at getting an overnight ferry straight after work the day before. The one to St Malo leaves at 8pm though so zero chance I could get there in time after work. There is another that leaves at 11pm to le havre though, you get a cabin and arrive at 8am. It would mean we get to france a day earlier. Thinking of then riding to Cherbourg and getting a late night ferry back to portsmouth. So it would look something like
Day1: overnight ferry to le havre
day2: 40 miles riding
Day3: 40 miles riding
Day4: 40 miles riding
Day5: 30 miles riding and ending in Cherbough+ 20.45 ferry back to Portsmouth arriving at 22.45. Late night pitch in a local campsite or B&B
Day6: ride back to london
The alternative is we ride to St Malo but the ferry from there takes a long time so we would need to catch it on day5 at 10.30am, writing off that whole day and also forcing us to do 60 mile days each day before that which might annoy Maria.
