Some advice on locals watching "le tour" , can you recommend a good spot to watch possibly with camping facilities was thinking about the hawes area but local info rules
Thanks in advance
Camping available in the Addingham / Silsden area and see it two times without moving far ( mind you moving about is going to be fun )
Don't encourage more people to Silsden. I'm already expecting it to be rammed on the Sunday as it's the easiest place to get to from the Rapha thing at Broughton hall.
Going to be rammed both days
Roundabout at Addingham closes at midnight friday and opens again sometime sat afternoon to close again midnight Sat
For Saturday I'm currently thinking I'll either go in early and try and get a spot near the roundabout in Skipton or just sit up on Doughton Moor and watch it from a distance. I've no real idea where to watch it from on Sunday as I can't think of any good spots that won't be either completely rammed or where they'll be gone in seconds..
Trout , only 3 of us ,we don't like Carling and one is not to fussy on fish ,oh and we prefer to sleep with the windows open too !!!
Addingham seems to be coming up a lot on Google
Well since I'm now safely booked in, I can tell you Dales Bike Centre at Grinton (Swaledale) apparently still have places. The TdF passes the entrance. Bar, catering, big screen, blah, blah. But if you do come don't stay up all night shouting about. I hate that on camp sites and I may have to wipe my arse on your butter.
Hey slow , I am as quiet as a mouse and regards to your butter fetish there are websites for that kind of stuff !!!
Gonna check it out though sounds great
Mrs S. and I stayed there (in the bunk rooms) for a few days last year. Nice place and a great location. We're going up for several days before the race - loads of great riding up there. It's pricey of course but it's a special occasion and everywhere is going to be after your money that week.
Voodoo normaly you could put a tent on my lawn. The house is full of rellies from down south
certainly no carling allowed
here is a nice venue just down the road and right on the side of the tour route

Slow looks great that place , trout ,I am sure a tent of hairy added scousers on your lawn would go down well with your neighbours would go down well , thanks anyway
