Vannie goes to the Olympics

Team Vannie GB

After getting through the first round, Vannie was now on her biggest trip ever (obviously not what John would say!) - 4 nights at the Olympic Park!

Whilst cruising on the M5/M4 the postcode of the campsite was put in by Mogs and we started heading that way - 4 hours later we arrived at the wrong campsite!!  A weird old man met us - Mogs said she'd spoken to him on the phone but he didn't know what we were on about - in fact the campsite just had 5 empty caravans there!  Oops - off to the pub over the road to google campsites in Woking - luckily Mogs remembered the one she'd phoned and the SatNav recalculated and got us on our way......


1 night in a field then off to watch the women's marathon in Parliament Square - great to catch up with Alison and Malc then back to Woking for BBQ at Kate and Paul's - fab to see them and Chris and Dave - way too much wine consumed but great night - thanks to K & P for the shower and leccy for Mogs to use her hair straighteners in the morning!!



Kate and Paul's lovely tea and coffee in morning! Plus shower and leccy :)

The travelling musician chills before heading for the big city!

Like Rats in the Sewer!
Dave loves the Underground....


At the Olympic Park - awesome atmosphere for the Athletics

Lunch and a wine or 2 with Joyce in Wanstead - Mogs godmother and her mum's friend - fab to catch up after many years and thanks for the painting tips for Dave!!


How high up are we?! what an atmosphere though...
