2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted November 28, 2018 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Folks Ill be riding the Etape du Dales next May (19th). I’ve always wanted to do this and earlier this year I got the chance to ride some of the route. It was absolutely stunning and hard. Not as hard as the Fred, but tough nonetheless. I’ll be riding anyway, but if anyone fancies it then give me a shout. More details: https://www.etapedudales.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions George Posted December 3, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Might give this a bash but will need to earn brownie points after trips to Casa Mac & Flanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted December 3, 2018 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 OK George. Me and Scott Donaldson (ex-wheeler) have entered and will be booking accommodation for the Saturday night soon. Lots of spaces left, so should be ok if you have to decide nearer the time. robster82 and George 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted December 4, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 This has me interested and I got a favourable response when I presented the idea tonight. Let me know more and I see if it is do-able for me. If I am coming I can offer spaces on my car for bikes and passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted December 4, 2018 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hi Gerard Plan is to drive down and stay Saturday evening in YH 6 miles away from start, ride the event and drive home Sunday night. You can check the website link above for more details, but in general it is an awesome, classic, ‘must ride’ route! I’ve ridden parts and it is on par with the lakes and the best of Scotland. It is a tough ride, but not as tough as the Fred. Currently me and one other confirmed. 2 others interested. Lots of spaces left just now so you have a bit of time to make your mind up.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted December 7, 2018 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Guys For information. Me and Scott have entered and are booked in the YH at Kettlewell for Saturday night. Only private rooms left so if you want to stay there you’d better be quick. I think rooms of 3 or 4 still available. Plenty of other accommodation options on the area though. Cheers Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Carol Murray Posted January 4, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi, I am interested in the mini etape .....hard enough for me .....maybe too hard ....( feartie that I am) Carol Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted January 5, 2019 Author 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi Carol That’s great. There’s plenty of time yet, so will be making travel arrangements nearer the time. Myself and 1 other are booked into the Youth Hostel the night before. Might be an idea to think about whether you will be travelling down the same day (early) or staying the Saturday night. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted January 22, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 That is my entry in now, I will have to do some tr**n*ng I suppose. I will be driving down on the Saturday, so I am open to offering a lift. Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted January 22, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I got the small double in the Kings Head Inn, Kettlewell. They offered the standard double too, so I assume it is still available. Booking.com had very little available so accomodation is getting harder to find. Still plenty of places left for the actual ride though. Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, some hills in the beautiful Dales! Darryl, that's me entered & booked into same hotel as Gerards at the King's Head for Saturday night ........ I've blagged a place in Gerard's car for me & bike, happy days! It's been a while since my first/last Fred Whitton, I hope signage is better in this event but I really should look where I'm meant to be going this time Cheers Iain67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
