Cycle Steps
1. The route follows minor routes from the Ferry terminal along the river. The end point is convenient for a fist night stop. The tricky bit is getting out of Le Harve - this route is good as it avoids motorways but can be busy with heavy lorries - there are bits of cycle lane along parts leading up to the Pont De Normandie - there are cycle lanes and its free. Minor routes are signposted and numbered - useful to remember the next village and the route number. Fantastic views from the banks - esp on approach to Vieux Port and going around Marais Vernier. Some short steep climbs on the route. The Bacs are free.
