I've ridden the LF1 from Hook Van Holland to Amsterdam. Its excellent quality and reasonably well signposted. If you can deal with english cycle routes you'll be fine, barely even need a map/phone. It can be bloody windy though...

I'd just go with booking.com at lunch time ish work out where you want to be. On the notes state you have a bike. Most places are usually pretty helpful.
Maybe I've missed the point

I'm thinking of doing a last minute ride out from Calais to Amsterdam and back. Usually I'm a methodical planner but this time I really have left it late, i'll be leaving this Wednesday.
I'm wondering how easy it'll be to find cheap & bike-safe overnight accommodation without booking, i.e. just turning up in a random village in the early evening. I was considering bivvying but the cold these last couple of weeks has scared me off I think.
Also does anyone have any experience of the LF1 North Sea route? I don't really have time to plan anything exciting so i'll probably just follow that unless someone has something I could use.
Any places to see en route or general recommendations?
On with the research. Ta.
