Anyone camping at Langsett Hub?

We need lots of people carrying signs with confusing Yorkshire sayings on them.

Im tempted to hire a whippet, put on my flat cap and run up and down alongside the bicycles.

 

If I was braver and younger, I'd probably be using spray paint to write something like "Ey Up, Tha's in tahn nah, si thi!" in big letters across the road where it enters Barnsley.

 

You had the inside nod mark ?

 

Gerron thi push iron cocker!

 

Leyburn Market Square for me Big Screen , 10000 people should be a good day

 

so let me get this reyt? Tour De France.... in Yorkshire ?

so on what planet does it remain the Tour De France then..... or has Yorkshire suddenly been invaded and conquered by the Frogs ?

Allus said that bloody tunnel was a bad idea.

 

Re: so let me get this reyt? Tour De France.... in Yorkshire ?

My plan is to stay at home, might watch some on telly just to see the locations, no interest in the actual Tour

 

my plan is to get a pot of paint slap it on a wall then watch it dry

a million time more exciting than watching blokes ride a bike.

Its about the atmosphere, but you will no see any of that in Wales, bitter?

 

atmosphere ... behave thissen.... obviously

you have never ever been to a Rugby match in the Millenium stadium then.... especially when they play England.

I guess its each to their own. I have stood I some huge Stadia to watch Footballl and Rugby and experienced ELECTRIC in the atmosphere. Somehow Bicycling and motor racing just do not do it for me..... however I do strangely enjoy Super bike racing ... especially used to like Foggarty, Sheen and Agostini.... that's some very different eras there for you.

 

Park at Dunford Bridge and yomp over the moor.

 

Re: atmosphere ... behave thissen.... obviously

Seen both, Rugby doesn't really do it for me, especially league and neither does motor sport, where is the joy in watching cars zoom past at 100 mph? I suppose you will tell me its the atmosphere, well that's what the tour is about it captures the imagination of towns and villages as it passes through. Holmfirth and lots of the North Yorkshire towns look spectacular at the moment, there is genuine excitement all around a feeling that I have lost from following football.

 

Isn't the road to Dunford Bridge closed (or is it just the bit from Dunford Bridge to the Woodhead road)?

 

Was planning on going to enjoy it but have got some work around it now so though good financially not so good for appreciating the sport.

I wanted to do Holme Moss as I've rode it a few times & it's brutal enough for their to be lots of attacks but it'll take hours to get off the climb so I'll ride up the trans pennine trail to Dunford Bridge then go on the road to Woodhead & watch them come past there as they'll still be climbing at that point & the group should be strung out so lots of chances to get good photos

 

Just the road from Dunford as far as I am aware. Parking in the Hade Edge area and following the Kirklees Way is another option onto the Holme Moss Road and then walk to the summit.

I did consider parking at Wassenden Head then taking the Pennine Way South towards Black Hill and then a 2k yomp over the moor. I was up there Saturday night and the moor was pretty dry.

TPT has now opened between Penistone and Dunford so parking as close to it as you can get and walking to Dunford and 5k over the moor is another option. It just depends how big a taste for adventure you have.

 

I'm going to cycle from Leeds I think ☺
