Indeed. The noon ferry group, all very experienced at English cycling, were astonished at how utterly crap it was. Being gestured towards the gate with the No Bicycles sign was a bonus, and greatest of all was the way by which we were directed to *not* go through customs. Mind you, it was pretty obvious exactly where the responsibility for the cycle path changed from the Dover Port Authority to the local council because we were sent up a one way street the wrong way, on the wrong side of the road while the pavement could easily have been designated as shared use. Mind you, finding the cycle crossing point officially closed, with the traffic lights turned off, as we tried to cross the dual carriageway full of huge lorries was the real icing on the cake.
