Keld's Tour de France Story

Over the Tour de France weekend (4th - 6th July 2014) there were hundreds more people camping in Keld than usual.

 

Some of the trustees of the KRC & their families came for the weekend and either self catered ......



 

or camped in the village.

Muker was significantly busier because .......

this was where all the action took place!

Throughout the weekend a team of volunteers manned the Keld Countryside & Heritage Centre to welcome visitors to Keld and to promote the work of the Keld Resource Centre

  

Majorie from Reeth came to demonstrate spinning and Scilla brought her hand weaving loom.

 





Tour de France Weekend

There were hundreds of people in Keld over the Tour de France weekend and we unashamedly did everything possible to attract them to the Countryside & Heritage Centre. 

 

A massive banner tells all who pass by what the Keld Resource Centre has to offer and a vintage tractor is always an attraction.  Our chairman, David Figures, couldn't resist getting behind the wheel.
