Is it just me or has the publicity for the TOB been rubbish. The official website was hardly ever updated before the even. There was nothing in the local papers here (North Yorkshire) before the event passed through. Loads of local people were amazed and perplexed by the road closure at Gally Gap, there was a huge (well relatively) snarl up of combine harvesters, tractors postie vans and the like, they just hadn't a clue it was happening.
Surely with a bit more publicity people would get behind it and there would be moire people along the route etc especially with it been televised at prime time, people love to see there village or local town on the news.
