Why not do what i'm doing, buy a decent sized tourer, you can buy them with fixed beds etc, and come with modern shower rooms and all mod cons. Plenty of sites offer seasonal rates, then if ya get fed up of that place, it's easy enough to up sticks and move somewhere else.! jt

Seen on f/book that they are now reunited with there mum, phew.! jt

Prob best of trying ebay, preloved etc.! jt

Laneside at Hope in Derbyshire, near to the train station as well as a bus stop outside if you don't have transport. Bus goes from Pond Street 272 I think, Stayed here a few times myself and it's very nice and clean.! jt

Not as cheap as you think, after buying the barge, there's mooring fees, thats if you can find a perm mooring in Tinsley or city centre. Then British Waterways charges as well, insurances ect.. Not as cheap as you'd think in the long run.! jt

Most sites are seasonal, and usually close for a couple months November to Febuary, so that the residents don't have to pay council tax. Usually the retired people do this and take off abroad for the couple months they are closed, not sure of anything really local that does full time, but the nearest one i know of is at inbetween Bawtry and Blyth. Sorry i don't have a contact No, but loads of people are doing this, i'm in that catagory but i'm 55 in 18 months and thinking of taking early retirement, and selling the house.! jt

We are always away in the m/home, spent NY Eve top of Holme Moss with a couple other m/home mates, and just had a long weekend on the east coast. Twer a tad chilly at night, but warm bedding is great, we wild camp all the time and don't use sites at all. Was great for the pooches to run on the beach, and as it snowed on the Saturday the beach was white over and quite hard, so got a few pics. Just planning the next few days away prob next week, or if busy, def the week after that, ya don't have to go far to enjoy ya sens.! jt

Get her spade before you let her go, then you'll def know she can't be used as a puppy making dog.! jt

Carlile Street, not sure of there name, but they have a good selection of m/homes for hire.! jt

Maybe i've spelt it wrong could be wesson, basically it's cow's windpipe with meat on..Yukky stuff but the Mrs eats it as well...We also get tripe from there as well.! jt

We've been feeding Tess our Lhasa Apso on Wezzen, only place we can get it is Barnsley market, a she is a fussy eater but loves Wezzen. Our Hollie (King Charles Cav) well she'll eat owt but I will call into this shop and see what they have to offer.! jt Forgot to add, where is it.?

Phew...nice one.! jt

We still have a Yellow bike on our roof, "Le Tour" aint over for a while ya know, the bike will stay till "Le Tour" is over for this year.! jt

Miller knew it was wrong - when the french police came round to his house - he almost put his wrists up and said "cuff me" He now works extensively with young cyclists and on education programs. Ya I know the story, but he new the score..What about the guy who came 2nd and never got his chance of glory on the rostram, or to wear the coverted Rainbow Jersey. I'm not saying he should be banned from the professional ranks of cycling, but should be banned along with any other person caught taking PED's from representing there country ever again, what ever sport that is.! jt

Same (ish deal) went for Christine Uhurugu - missed 3 tests and was banned under the whereabouts system. She even talked about going to represent another country although she had never failed a test. 1 claim was that she got lost, 2nd was something to do with driving a manual car and she got confused as she only drives auto's...Not sure what No 3 was. She did say she'd run for Nigeria if she got banned from representing Great Britain, or England.... When ever she runs now, I say "not in my name"..She is a cheat pure and simple, same with David Miller (cyclist) he got banned for taking PED's, and should have been banned for ever from representing his country. In my view if ya play the dangerous game of taking PED's then ya should take the consequences of being found out. That to me should mean a life times ban in representing your country at what ever your chosen sport is.! Forgot to add, you say she never failed a test, neither did Lance Armstrong.! jt

Well we are all packed and ready to go to enjoy "Le Tour" hope you all enjoy the spectacle where ever your watching it from. Me, I'll be at Hawes form the Buttertubs on Saturday, and Sunday I'll hopefully be some where in Bradfield having a beer, and enjoying the ambiance, enjoy it, it won't be round this area for a very very long time.! "VIVE LE TOUR" jt

but if I wasn't I would be out of Sheffield for the day for sure, spending my money on the coast, Could ya take all the other moaning gits with ya as well, leaving the Tour for us who will appriciate it...Cheers jt

Regarding road closures etc, well the roads are closed for the marathon or half marathon once in 365 days. The roads are gonna be closed for the Tour once in 36,865 days,.! jt

Head up to the top of Kirkstone Pass from Windamere side, nice pub at top of the pass by the way. Carry on then drop down the other side, it'll test ya breaks, then on the left hand side is a farm with a camp site right in the middle of it. The camp site has a pub and restuarant as well as a shop, I used it on the way back frm Scotland a few years back on a m/bike tour and would use it again, and the views are quite good as well. If I can get the info of site name i'll edit this post.! Glad ya still using ya m/home.! jt

Caught this by accident last night in Newerk, just happened to look up and saw it going over us. A first for me and was well impressed, this would have been at roughly 23:50hrs.! jt

I'd just like let people know who are against the Tour coming here, that the people who want the Tour to come here find most of your negative comments quite funny. Because no matter what you think it's coming and me and thousands of other people will have a great time. For all you lot who go on about road tax..blah blah blah, I'd also like to thank you for subsidising my car, as I don't have to pay any for that, and thats got 4 wheells not 2.! jt

ya could always go to Cleethorpes for the day, or watch tv, i'm sure they'll be showing some prima donna in Brazil kicking a ball around on a beach.! jt

Was at work yesterday, and mi brother had the greatest of pleasures to inform me that he's seen team Sky going up Herries Rd, I dare say we'll see a fair few teams checking out the route between now and the race. Me, I'm going to Hawes on Friday night night to watch them come up the "buttertubs" on Saturday, and then make my way to either the top of Holme Moss, or failing that I'll come home and get mi little scooter out and go watch it on Bradfield somewhere. Failing that I may just stay home and watch em come up past my house near Herries Rd... decisions decisions.! Where ever ya gonna be, enjoy it it's gonna be a fab day.! jt

Well put angel22... jt
