Richard and his colleague at Bristol, Tom Lamont, are starting a new Twitter profile (https://twitter.com/geology_tob) that will post geological facts and tidbits about the regions that the cyclists pass through at each stage of Tour of Britain. This account was inspired by the “Geology of the Tour de France” on Twitter (https://twitter.com/geotdf) that was made by another Richard's colleague Douwe van Hinsbergen.

This year’s Tour of Britain will take place across the following eight stages (cited from here: https://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/) :

  • Stage one | Sunday 4 September | Aberdeen to Glenshee Ski Centre
  • Stage two | Monday 5 September | Hawick to Duns
  • Stage three | Tuesday 6 September | Durham to Sunderland
  • Stage four | Wednesday 7 September | Redcar to Duncombe Park, Helmsley
  • Stage five | Thursday 8 September | West Bridgford to Mansfield
  • Stage six | Friday 9 September | Tewkesbury to Gloucester
  • Stage seven | Saturday 10 September | West Bay to Ferndown
  • Stage eight | Sunday 11 September | Ryde to The Needles
