We made a mad dash across Denmark (after 3 months of stunning weather, Denmark was our horizontal-rain Nemesis!) - in fact so mad that we didn't draw a single Danish Kroner from the bank, nor even buy a map - just followed the signs & the sun (what we could see of it) all the way to Esbjerg port!
After the rumours of a spot or 2 of rain in Britain, we were slightly taken aback to arrive in blazing sunshine.
In Harwich, we heard some guy say "right, I'm off across the estuary now", turned out he was skipper of the Stockley ferry and, nope, we didn't know what that was either, but we threw the bike & trailer onboard anyway and ended up in...yep, Stockley (see pic). We cycled the 10 miles to Ipswich and caught a train to Wellington. Tandems aren't allowed on British trains, so a bit of blagging was required, especially in Cambridge @ 5.30 on a Friday afternoon!
