In May 2026, my wife had weirdly agreed to join me on a cycling trip. Her first ever and first time abroad cycling too.
Last year, I had cycled the coast from Dunkirk to Ostende. We picked up where I left off and took it all the way to Rotterdam, where there are ferry links back to the UK.
Off we go via Saffron Walden and the ferry from Harwich
