I have just returned from two days covering the Tour of Britain for some regional papers in Scotland and Northern England and the verdict is BRILLIANT! The crowds were immense, the organisation second to none and the cyclists were very approachable and indeed friendly.

This is the biggest race that i have had accreditation for and it certainly lives up to its billing.

I am just sorry that i am not following the whole race and will be looking on with envy as it progresses through the rest of the week without me
