The 2014 Tour de France was the 101st edition of the race, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The 3,660.5-kilometre (2,274.5 mi) race included 21 stages, starting in Leeds, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, on 5 July and finishing on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on 27 July.
It passed near Todmorden through Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd, and created quite a stir in Yorkshire, UK
It's cold, raining, and I'm waiting for a train to show.
But how often do you get to stand on a cobbled road over an ancient bridge, in gritty countryside?

.. at Todmorden. This is the start of a walk to Mytholmroyd, done over a month ago, so Summer is still in full swing for a while :-)
I saw this in mono, and went for it.

DB Cargo Shed 66015, still in EWS livery, approaches Mytholmroyd station in the Calder Valley with the 7.25am Wilton EFW Terminal - Knowsley empty industrial and domestic waste containers (6M16).
Delivered new to the UK in October 1998 this locomotive is one of the oldest members of the class, now in its 22nd year of operation.
Wherever you look in this part of the world there are hills, and often quite steep ones at that, so it's no surprise the route continually curves as it makes its way up to the head of the valley. And, with little room for the River Calder to 'spread', it's no surprise either that periods of heavy rain can cause serious flooding issues in these parts.

I took this shot yesterday afternoon with my phone. I don’t think we’ve seen water like this coming over the dam overflow for many years. We walked along the wall top footpath from the far end, the power of the water was such that the whole wall vibrated with the force of it tumbling over, the noise was deafening.
This water is flowing into the River Ryburn, which a couple of miles downstream joins the River Calder in the small town of Sowerby Bridge in the Calder Valley. Many of you will have seen on the news that several of the Calder Valley towns and villages flooded yesterday, these include Sowerby Bridge, Luddendenfoot, Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge among others. These are the places where the Boxing Day floods of 2015 prompted the building of new flood defences. Sadly the work is still ongoing, the defences have been breached and much of the scaffolding and material being used for the work has been washed away. Houses and businesses nearby were yet again under several feet of water. No one really seems to have the answer as to how to stop this long narrow, steep valley which catches all the run off water from the moors from flooding.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Through the 306 yard and delightfully named Winterbutlee Tunnel CAF 195010 approaches Walsden shortly after breaching the summit of the Calder Valley Pennine route with 1E62 12:24 Chester to Leeds.
It didn’t look a successful journey, the service started at Manchester Victoria rather than Chester and after running late from Mytholmroyd was cancelled at Halifax with defective brakes.
