I'm looking for some advice. In May I will be undertaking my first ever multi-day tour; from Calais to Brussels, over 3 days.
I've got some fixed points already booked - overnight stay in Calais near the Eurotunnel to allow me an early start. I've also booked into a hotel in Ghent for the end of the second day cycling, and Brussels for the end of the third. Return will be via Eurostar.
My dilemma is where to stay after the first day of cycling. Do I head to Poperinge/Ypres, or along the coast to Nieuwpoort?
I'm fairly used to windy/rainy weather and some hills (I live in Glasgow and most of my cycling has been done there), but some of the comments I have read about high winds on the coast are putting me off that route.
Any experience of either route that you could share? I've been to all of those towns and cities by car in the past, so fairly familiar with the area
Thanks
