Almost 20 miles..

Walked almost 20 miles (19.9miles) on Opening Ceremony  Day. What a day it was. Started in the Village withy a trip into London via the Javelin to the Savoy to help dignitaries attend the evening Opening Ceremony.  Had to pick up another dignitary at ‘another’ hotel which to my surprise turned out to be in the Isle of Dogs in Dock land.

This addition meant some hasty reorganising involving unplanned Taxi rides ,calls to Nigeria and a walk with two dignitaries  around the Park calling at each gate from Gate A to E as we tried in vain to find the correct entrance to the Prestige Entrance.

At the same time and for the first time had both my Olympic phone and my iPhone go flat on me as I reorganised  the day’s  travel plans and negotiated the printing of Nigeria’s 60 page full colour Olympic brochure’s samples.

The end of day was good fun as I helped (walked!) the Nigerian team to reach their entry point to march into the Stadium.
