I've asked for advice about a planned (first) multi day trip between Calais and Brussels, and it's been very helpful.
One common response though has been that I should change my start point from Calais to Dunkirk. This isn't impossible, but given that I'm arriving in the evening I won't have much daylight for cycling any distance on the first day. The drop-off point for the Le Shuttle bike service is very close to my hotel, so it keeps the first day pretty simple.
Is the cycle route out of Calais particularly bad? I've checked street view for part of the route and it looks a bit dull, but that's the worst I can say really. Am I missing something awful about Calais?
If I did start from Dunkirk, are there any decent hotels near the ferry terminal? I've searched on Google, but nothing much comes up.
Thanks
