Yeah, that ferry is mad in a race. If I was silly enough to have a crack I'd put a lot of planning into that bit. How many riders are expecting to be able to use it?
hippy-
They've all got to cross there, and there's 3 x crossings a day. Still 600km to go from the ferry in UK up to Llandudno finish.
I guess you'd figure out a strategy for France which might involve taking it fairly chilled knowing you're likely to hit a certain ferry time, then just ride straight through on the final 600km once in the UK, putting the pedal down as much as you can. But then I bet tons of other riders will do that too, plus it's hilly so you're hardly going to leave anyone for dust

Fuck knows. But that chap who was in the ferry terminal at 9am GMT appears to be still there.
So that's at least 6 hours hanging around doing nothing preparing for another 6 hours at sea doing nothing whenever they set off.
My body would be thinking it was time to go home by that point...
