It looks like I'll be there for the end of Stage 4...

 

[IDMark2]

I'm already planning how many views of them going by I can do in a day for Stage 5, about four I think then get to the finish. Looking forward to it.

 

[The Brewer]

Might go and see day one and day two is coming through town

BRITAIN is....''The island containing England, Wales, and Scotland. The name is broadly synonymous with Great Britain, but the longer form is more usual for the political unit.''

obviously the Highlands are too tough to include.............

They are doing the Highlands next year, it's Stag 1

Sorry John if it wasn't obvious, the spelling was deliberate as a sort of (feeble, but quick) joking reference to the likely spectators in a Highland stage... But I see on Twitter that there's already been quite a lot of reaction to there being no Scottish stage this year. Explanations centre on keeping the transfer miles down.

 

[Louch]

So tour of "Britain" misses Scotland out just before Indy vote on its final day. They must know something we can only guess at

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Dissapointed no Scottish based stage, the Borders have been good the last couple years or so too.

 

[summerdays]

So pleased it's coming to Bristol. What time of day would it finish (just trying to plan work around it).

Fort Bill to Glasgow or its like would have been fun...but they obviously know the result of the referendum
