UK part of 1994 TDF route

[Mark]

Hi

Does anyone here know the exact route the UK stages of the1994 TDF took? I'm particularly interested
in any bits around Winchester.

Cheers!

http://www.google.com/ "Tour de France" 1994 UK - 3330 hits.

The tar archive referred to at http://www.hep.phys.soton.ac.uk/tdf/ is probably what you're
after. It contains a fairly detailed description of the route of stage 5 (the one which started
in Southsea)

I googled for a while but somehow missed that soton.ac.uk link.

Go to Southsea and follow the route of all the new(er) tarmac.

You might get a false positive. If the council in Southsea is anything like York City Council,
there'll be new tarmac being laid and potholes being filled everywhere in order to a) spend the
remaining dosh in the council tax coffers and b) justify the rise they're going to spring on you
next (financial) year ...
