scottwitting Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 We're heading out to watch the Scott on Saturday. Any advice on the best place to watch with two young children (1 & 3!) - Good parking, short walk, no really steep banks for watching. Oh, and nice sunny weather!

feisty4 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 How about Surrender in the morning, but get there early for good (if there is good parking on Scott day!) parking and a shortish walk to the section. Probably watch all the riders here before they disappear onto the grouse moor. Then skip Bypass and head to Bridge End (on the road to Barnard Castle - turn right at the CB) - this section is right next to the road (it worked well for me last year with 3 kids under 5!!) This should leave plenty of time in which to park and very easy with kids in tow (equally you could go to Whaw Bridge after Surrender but I don't think the parking is as good) Its impossible to 'chase' the trial and see everything - much better to pick out 2 or 3 sections and stick to your plan Hope the above helps and enjoy the day (sunny weather in Yorkshire!?!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboxer Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I thought the forecast looked reasonable ? Sunshine & showers - normal for Reeth Am I mistaken? Edited October 14, 2014 by johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2639510 See above, it has improved a bit since I last looked. Nicer for riding than watching probably. So long as its not as bad as 1990 or 1998 or 2008 Edited October 14, 2014 by dadof2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
