I have made a provisional booking with Hawes Youth Hostel (Upper Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales) for the nights of Friday 24 and Sat 25 April at a total cost per person for 2 nights of £60 evening meal, bed & breakfast. Superb location for challenging rides (Buttertubs, plus Tan Hill, Fleet Moss, Park Rash, The Fleak, The Coal Road, to name but a few climbs that the Tour dared not go up last year!) between the dales or easier rides along Wensleydale: lovely scenery, villages and cafes, not to mention numerous pubs in Hawes! Day rides of differing difficulty on Saturday and a ride finishing early pm on the Sunday. Let me know by Friday 6th February with £15 deposit if you want to go, so I can confirm numbers; if you decide after then you can book direct but may be a risk that all beds are gone.
