They really seem to favour cars. It's a good service in many ways and I can't complain about the journey out. But on the way back they made bikes wait to the very last for loading. Even though I'd arrived 2 hours early I had to stand in the cold inhaling diesel fumes while every other vehicle boarded. They let all the motorbikes on right at the start which go into the same area as bikes, so it didn't really make any sense.
Was great aside from that - did Donald Hirsch route out, proper Avenue Verte back, both were really good (assuming you don't mind the odd bit of off-road). But after a long ride, standing around in the cold isn't what you want to do. If I'd known, I'd have just stayed in the centre of Dieppe drinking and eating until the last minute.

I might suggest the "whine about it on the ferry company's Facebook" option for my mates in The Fridays. We were unsuccessful getting more than 6 cycle spaces for on the Newhaven/Dieppe ferry back in July, even though there was more than enough spaces for bikes. Cars are more favoured during school holidays, apparently.
