Blea Tarn between Little Langdale and Langdale is a good spot. 20 minute or so drive from Ambleside, and a classic view of the Langdale Pikes with the tarn in the foreground. Rydal water is another great spot for landscapes v. close to Ambleside.

Great stuff . Lucky man

Crossroads shot is my pick.


As the tour came past I was mesmerised by the number of helicopters in tow (7?) and the way they circled together. Presumably they have to fly in defined formation for safety?

Great to see all these Carl- great sets and fascinating perspectives on the tour. You really made the most of your opportunity.

I was on the Woodhead Pass when you must have flashed past. Didn't get anything approaching your quality, but amongst my largely random snaps as they whizzed past I did catch a close up of Tommy Voeckler... So I'm a happy chappie

I very much like the processing of these - the muted colours really suit the subjects. The first and third are my pick - beautifully composed.

Really excellent set David, great skill here to catch all this action given how quickly they flash past. I was looking forward to seeing your TdF efforts

Difficult to pick a favourite, but Faces in the Crowd just edges it - a wonderful capture of the excitement in the crowds.

Great set. I went up to see the Tour yesterday, so can really understand the comments on the challenges of
photographing it . Looks like you found really excellent spots.
