[Home]   Cycling the Seine Friday 14th June 2024 Home to Newhaven The journey from home to Newhaven was mainly by train but also included a three or four mile ride across London between Liverpool Street and Victoria stations. The train journeys were ok but the ride across London was not so good, with a couple of freezing downpours and a lot of unpleasant traffic. It was ok along the embankment stretch but not very nice away from the river. Ready to go In fact it had been a cold and miserable summer so far but at least the rain had stopped for the moment by the time we reached Newhaven. We checked in to the B&B and were told we had to take our shoes off before entering our room - fair enough. The room had one double bed and a camp bed - Andrew volunteered to take the camp bed.
