LF1 with a headwind probably isn't nice, though!
Velomobile.
Now wondering what I could use to molish a fairing out of. Lid of the Orrery, perhaps?
I know the prevailing winds are tailwinds, but I've also read a few accounts of people who got the exception to the rule and really struggled.
I'm not very bike fit atm and think I could probably do 40 mile days fully loaded, maybe a bit more travelling light, but I can't picture myself doing consecutive 100k days. All assuming vaguely conducive weather, which I'm not sure is a wise assumption to make (for me)!
I think we'll likely be using vriendenopdefiets from Den Haag. I should have a proper look at Warm Showers, too.
Observation: I seem to be reacting against the idea of train faff on the way out, but I might be more open to it on the way back again.
I'm still undecided between Harwich-Hoek or Dover-Dunkirk, though I suspect not doing LF1 or similar would feel like a cop out. Hmmmm.
