BELGIUM and the NETHERLANDS cycle - Day 1 travel

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 Inspiration as ever from    / @duzer   Bike.Hike.Train and very rarely plane- Outdoor Adventures in the UK and abroad.
