Hi arthurk
Many thanks for reminding me this picture is still out there!
my father was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire and never lived anywhere else. He did, however, go on walking/ cycling holidays all over the UK throughout the 1940s, 50s and early 60s, usually staying in Youth Hostels. As part of my detective work I have looked through his YHA cards (which were stamped at each hostel) to see if there might have been a time trial/ race in locations that corresponded with where he was, but no luck.
With regards to the photo, its actually one of my dads slides - I'm going to take it out of the frame and see if there's any more to the image that might give us a clue.
Also, I believe the bus in the photo to be a Samuel Ledgard bus but not sure if that helps anyone
So glad this is still piquing interest - its the longest unidentified picture of my dads so far, and I'm starting to think this one might never be solved.
