cuttsie Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Lets hope that there will be no banning the wild campers on the surrounding hill climbs. When I have watched the Tour in France the Authorities actualy help people to park up in Tents Motor homes, and caravans on the best vantage points, this all leads to a brilliant spectacle for the millions watching both at road side and around the World on telly. Come on Sheffield get planning the stop over points now for campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, new road signs to permanently mark the route of the Tour de France in North Yorkshire have been unveiled.
