Tour de Yorkshire in Haworth


Last week the Tour de Yorkshire rolled through our neck of the woods; a quick train journey up to Haworth on the KWVR had us there in plenty of time to get a decent spot on the climb up from the bridge near the engine sheds.  We decided not to go for the cobbles, as we reckoned we'd have a better view lower down the hill.


This was the first chance in a while for Amy to get some bike photographs (she used to go watching the cycling quite a lot), and this really was a chance to experiment with the new camera, and also the phone.


Standing on the wall gave a reasonable elevated position...


...but hopping down to road level had better results.




Amy also did some shots trying to pick out individuals like Cav and Froome as the pack was racing past.



A nice little afternoon out anyway, and good to be able to nip out to see it by public transport.  Hopefully we'll be free to do a bit more of this next time the race comes our way.
