Shame they couldn't have routed it through Morley, for Beryl Burton.

I think I'd fancy Buttertubs - it's pretty open up there, so you mightn't need to get there that early (though my dad was saying you'd have to go up the day before and pitch your tent to get a decent view).
They will be going over Ilkley Moor though. Alas, with hats on.
I think I shall be riding down to Ripon on the first day and then get the train to York for the second day.
