My Profile 		Hi,

I am planning a London to Paris ride (yes, another thread about London to Paris) and I need a little advice to on a route to newhaven.

I rode to Brighton last year and I enjoyed the route. I am thinking that it may be easier to follow my route to Brighton Pier and then cycle to Newhaven along the A259 (Brighton Road) to get to Newhaven. Is this a good idea? Does it come to more milage than a direct route to Newhaven?

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing your advice.

Greetings from a prospective London to Paris cyclist via Dieppe.
So did you find it better to get to Newhaven via Brighton or did you take a more direct route?
