Dartford Crossing

[mr_cellophane]

I plan to cycle into Kent tomorrow over the bridge. Can someone advise me firstly how to get to the pickup point from Avely and about how long am I likely to have to wait.
Thanks

There are cycle paths either side of the bridge to follow to the pick up points.
You can wait anything from no time at all if the Land Rover is waiting or anything up to an hour or more. It's dependent on how busy they are are and how many other cyclist's are waiting in front of you, as they can only take 3 bikes over at a time. If there is no van or anyone in control, there is a phone to alert control that you are waiting.

It can be worth the risk of time. There's a blog featuring the different methods of crossing the thames with a bike, here.

Restricted hours now - this doesn't sound like a trial any more. Anyone know if it's true?

I wonder how much demand there is at 3 in the morning

That will be a pain in the 'arris on a ride...
