2012 London Olympics #4
After they threw us out of the velodrome we spent a few hours in the Olympic Park. The big screen was great but not enough capacity and a strange propensity for having trees in the way.
-
- Scullers sculling to Gold
-
- At last we found a place near the front to sit… Doh!
-
- The Pringle. How much did Pringles pay for all this advertising?
-
- The BBC. Lots of temporary buildings – some very imaginative
-
- Olympic Hopping Arena
-
- Lots of effort to make the site green (and colourful)
-
- Orbit – couldn’t afford to go up.
-
- Jake Humphrey, Cav and Jamie Staff
-
- Lizzie Armitstead live on stage (just to the left there). We cheered.
-
- Women’s Pursuit?
-
- Kenny in the Sprint on the big screen
-
- Basketball Arena
-
- Aquatics Centre, Orbit and Stadium
-
- Vandalised telephone box
-
- Boat
-
- Homeward bound. The Aquatic Centre will look fantastic when the temporary stands are removed.
What a great day out. We were there (briefly).
