Hello fellow travelers,
I'm planning a trip from Delft (Netherlands) to Le Havre (France) and return to Rotterdam by train. The trip is planned for sometime in June or July, and I am thinking for a duration of about 1.5 to 2 weeks.
Along the way, I’ll be bivouacking or staying at campsites. I’ve attached a rough sketch of the route – if anyone’s interested in joining, feel free to DM me.
Also, I am still thinking about posting of my last trip to Germany, but also attached it as reference, that I already had such experience (long trips)

I made the route at the north sea cost from Belgium, one of the best experience I have ever had. The bike lanes are super well made and you mostly don’t face any Traffic.
It is also good that you avoid going through Belgium the roads there were the worst I have ever faced.
What I would consider is to go through Cologne, it could be that the big cities there are not so bike friendly, maybe stick more to the country side if you want to avoid a lot of traffic and road crossings.
i cycled this route from de Panne to Caen. Beautiful route, nice medieval towns on the way. its a shame if you don’t cross the Seine to visit Honfleur, i’d deffinately add that to the route.
Habe you considered the predominant wind direction you’ll be facing?
You should check the direction you are biking and maybe adjust it according to the winds. So maybe consider reversing the route.
Depending on if you like headwind or not obviously.
