Beautiful Yorkshire.....

[Zacs-Master]

Any of you who didn't know that Yorkshire wasn't full of 'dark satanic mills' tempted to visit due to the Tiure de France coverage?

Some beautiful scenery with interesting commentary

[ChillDoubt]

I would imagine the coverage has given Yorkshire tourism a massive boost, just as it did for Corsica last year, there was some stunning scenery on display.
The knock-on effects for the relevant areas are massive when the Tour comes to town, which is why so many mayors etc do their utmost to get a stage to start/finish in their area.

Rather go to Cornwall

Off season ^^^

Yes, the commentary is very informative. On a selfish note, my spiritual home of the Dales will now become even busier but I am pleased that we've attended so well and that it will be a boost for businesses.

Cornwall and Devon yes Baltic def nice.

[Zacs-Master]

Balders....yes, Cornwall is very beautiful too.

Whoops baldric I mean

Few years back we spent a lot of July in Robin Hood Bay and Whitby,
had a great time!

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, that's the Yorkshire Moors Balders. Very nice but a bit bleak in places.

I've been enjoying the scenery as much as the cycling.

The lasting legacy for the tourism industry is going to pay dividends for years to come. The weather has really helped too, two consecutive days without rain!

Had a 4x4, so had a good old mooch about

There are some lovely little valleys just inland with villages such as Grosmont and Lealholme and we often go for a spin up there as we can be there in about 40 mins.

[Baldric]

Ah, so it was you with the Camera!

[Zacs-Master]

If that is Balder's family.......can I come next time?

[Baldric]

Me too!!!!
;o)

Plenty of film and TV companies like to do their filming up here, so Yorkshire has already had a lot of exposure, but a bit more won't do any harm.

Beautiful scenery and excellent coverage of T de F on ITV, although as a novice spectator, I'd welcome some BBC style time splits and stats.

I'm sure Visit Yorkshire and the local councils will see a return on their investment with an upturn in visitors having paid for the event to cross their patch, although the costs must have been phenomenal.
