Our trip went as the Romans Did: from East to West: Reading Left (North Sea) as one goes Westward
Besides phones, we used maps which give a much better scaled distance. Bike maps gave both macro & micro information about intersections.
We traveled at the end of Sept and knew the potential for wet.
Being from Oregon: no problems!
We called a couple of places & determined that we should be able to reserve a place in 1 or two days as it was the off season. That failed only once producing a very long day and pitch black bike riding arriving with help of the BnB.

We found a wonderful Bicycle shop, Warlands in Cambridge (where we knew we ending our journey) through the Internet. Upon arrival in the UK, we shipped our Brompton bags to them for keeping. They were so helpful in letting us prearrange this before we flew!
