Awesome.. I am just ''afraid'' of getting to Harwich really early and having to wait in some shitty pub for hours waiting for the 23.15 ferry.
If I leave at 10 am, I should be in Harwich (77 miles away) at 6/7 if I leave time for a few stops and hanging out near the sea. I might have to slow right down and get into town at like 9.. Maybe have dinner like an hour out of Harwich.

I think the edited route you mentioned is ideal, I was having a look at the map this morning and it does seem like the most pleasant and beautiful routes to take to Harwich.
I think I'll have quite a bit of time to spare (the ferry doesn't leave till 23.15) so I think it will be a nice and relaxing little ride with plenty of chances to stop and take pictures.
As the T-Level Challenger backpack is super comfy (thank god for the padding) I think I will be able to do it.
I think I'll be bringing (besides what I'll be wearing on the bike)
- 1 Jersey
- 3 pairs of cycling socks
- 3 pairs of underwear
- lightweight sweater for in the evening
- pair of vans
- t-shirt
- 1 pair of shorts
- repair gear: 2 inner tubes, wrench, allen key set, mini-pump, tire levers.
Then I'll strap a bottle cage to my downtube and with some bananas, nuts and PBJ sandwiches I should be fine..
The only lock I have is a Kryptonite NY Faghedaboutit, which I might bring or I might see if I can borrow a shitty lightweight mini-lock from a friend for the week.
cable lock is a plus, however having said that, a small alarmed padlock is a great way of securing your bike.
I would not advised carrying a proper D lock, especially when you're no longer in London.
Also would advised you to get a large saddlebag* to take weight off your back, their current wait time is a couple or so weeks, so I'd advised you to order it ASAP;
*ride is still doable with backpack, I seen people carry twice as much stuff and managed it, comfortably I can't says.

I am planning to riding from London to Harwich on the 3rd of September. Getting the ferry across from Harwich to Hoek Van Holland, then ride to Amsterdam the following day.
I am planning to do this on my Cinelli Vigorelli as is while adding a bottle cage and using my T-level Challenger backpack with minimal weight (I have clothing and all that at my parents house in Holland) so it will only contain lock, spares, food and cycling clothing for the ride there.
Question is, is this feasible? Will my back give out after a few hours? I've done some rides with it on (40 miles or so) and it wasn't too bad.
Secondly, does anyone have any experience/tips or advice on a route from London to Harwich which avoids the main roads? I am expecting a lot of trucks heading to Harwich so am keen to avoid these.

Selling my Sony W210 which I've never used in the past 2 years I've owned it as I've always an SLR to use instead.
