UK – Hastings and the long flight Home, 07 – 13 Oct 2024

Posted on Sunday, 13-October-2024 by Chris Desmond
Dunkirk to Hastings – this was a short and cold ride 12c to Calais to catch the Tunnel train. There were the not unexpected road works which closed one side of the freeway and resulted in a 20km long traffic jam which I got around in my usual way. I arrived at 09:55 no queues at all for my 11:46 train and was given a boarding pass for an earlier train at 11:16, decided to ignore this and rode to the boarding area and managed to get on the next train departing hahaha, this is going to be my policy in future. French and UK immigration had no queues either and it was just stamp and go. The train turned out to be empty, I was the only bike in a whole carriage. It looks like the morning weekday trains are not busy. In the past I have only ever travelled on the afternoon trains which are busy. Off the train at Folkestone and was greeted by a light drizzle and wet roads which cleared up soon after, easy ride to Hasting through the English countryside. The end of another journey.   .
