Back and Beyond

A busy day today with visits to places new!

A visit to Dewsbury in the morning.

This is another trip to the edge of civilisation in the afternoon.

Holme Moss 1,719 feet is a moor in the South Pennines of England, forming the border between West Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

The Holme Moss transmitting station is the highest in England and provides VHF coverage of both FM and DAB to a wide area around the transmitter including Derbyshire, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. When originally erected it also transmitted television signals.

In July this climb will be part of the Tour de France and local businesses are gearing themselves up to take full advantage.
