Totally I want to avoid disassembling my bike as much as possible. I’ve taken that ferry before (I biked London - Hamburg in 2016) so I *kind* of want to see some new stuff… but will see. The overnight from Dublin - France has no bike fee and their cabin fee is only €24
One thing to note, I forgot to mention is part of my plan is train London - Manchester then cycle through Lake District to get the ferry Cairnryan - Belfast and see a friend in Ireland… and I’ve just now discovered there is a ferry from Dublin - France, which could avoid the Eurostar altogether, although it does put me more West in Europe
@rvdborgt thanks, my mistake. Good to note. £45 is pretty steep considering a standard fare to Brussels is £54 booking 5 months out...
Thanks @thibcabe I looked into Eurostar already and seems like if I do London - Brussels I can wheel on a bike at no extra cost and then I’m already further East into Europe in one train journey so win win. Seems like Belgium in general is very bike friendly on their train system. My concern is more with the Nordics but if needs be I have friends in Denmark & Germany I could leave my bike with and train around from there.
@rvdborgt the thing is I’ll have my bike with me which adds a lot. Also trying to avoid air travel if I can because slow travel is less negative on the environment. If you mean flying back to Canada from elsewhere, I am considering it. I haven’t booked flights yet as it’s still a ways out, but with the additional cost & effort of getting back to the UK a one-way flight from say Norway back to Canada might not be the worst idea
