2014 Tour De France

Members had to book on this rally 12 months in advance. The site was within walking distance of one of the roads the Stage 2 of the Tour De France was due to travel on.

Just three vans booked before the site filled up with others keen to see the action first hand.

Being in Last of the Summer Wine country a visit to Holmefield was a must and everyone climbed on board a local bus, making good use of their bus passes Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

Next day Richard & Ros, Bill & Maggi, and Rob & Irene walked the 200 yards to the roadside and set up their chairs to enjoy the atmosphere while they waited for the cyclists to pass by.
