that's exactly what I would suggest very warmly... "Hook van Holland to Harwich" is way less to ride, will save you about 250km and lot's of spaghetti junctions in Gent, and Antwerp, as well as the wind blowing boring motorway of the Normandy, The direct way from Wuppertal to Hook van Holland is quite exact 270 Km compare to 500km to Calais... the ferry from HvH to Harwich takes about 4 1/2 hours has cinema and the lot, very quiet sailing regarding it's size. the last step from Harwich to London it will be a straight ride no more than 100mils... the downside... the HvH/Harwich ferry only goes twice the day.. about 10:00am and 16:00 but it's roll on roll off as well. Did this journey on a regularly base and is in perfect distance from where I live, using all the daylight without hassle. a single ticket is around 60,-Euros in winter for man and bike.
Yeah I know it's not the classic way of invading the UK... more like sneaking in to it's back door...
Well I agree Calais/Dover is demanding if you want to see the white cliffs of Dover on a sunny morning ones in your live time...
