TdeF Whos watching where?

[oldfatfool]

So have you decided from which vantage point you are going to watch the tour from yet, and what time are you planning on getting there?

I was planning on Hawes, looking online they are expecting quite a few in the village with provision for 1000 cycle parking places, with this in mind I have identified a T junction a mile or so away with a bit of a verge and closed roads on every approach, The roads are due to be closed but allow on road parking but cyclists will have access, think it will be a dawn departure with a view to be in situ by 9am.

Not decided, but Holmemoss isn't far but they are expecting folk to get there a day early...

At home watching the whole thing [in comfort with snacks and beverages] from start to exciting grandstand finish with informed commentators telling me exactly what's going on... carry on.

I've not decided yet - in fact I was thinking of starting a thread like this so I could steal ideas

I'm only in Sheffield so was thinking of driving to somewhere nearby-ish and then finding a way cross-country to the route - I'm not that bothered about where, although I suppose it'd be nice if the peleton had broken up a bit so they don't all pass in 30 seconds

That's as far as my 'plan' has got, though.

Probably my arm chair in front of the TV .... Then I do nt miss anything
Unless I get a phone call inviting me to sit in the back of a team car ..

Armchair at home, it'll save me having to endure twonks from Yorkshire speaking loudly about "their" Grand Depart and me having to tell them how much of an árse they have made of it.

The stage into London is on a Monday so I will be working, but will try to sneak away as it will go past my office.

Ripon. Planning to ride from Newcastle to Baldersby and stay over at my folks the day before. Then a short ride down the A61 in the morning.

It has to be more or less at my front door to get me watching live in person, even when we go on holiday in French Alps each year. Once you've seen it a few times, it does make you wonder what the fuss is about. It's over in a flash, then it's 40 minutes of haribo rain.

Watching on TV is better for me.
