  • 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.

  • 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 have thought about the wind. Not much I can do about it I guess apart from head inland a bit. Good to know they're signposted ok.
