Day trip to London and Balham

Ducks Tours loading and uploading on the South Bank, Waterloo. Includes a cruise down the Thames from Vauxhall using the slip road east of the MI5 building.

Clapham Common. Have a go at tightrope walking. Impossible without Lauren helping.

London Prepares

Rachel gets tickets to the Olympic Park “London Prepares” event. First morning session women’s international hockey, two games featuring China v Korea and Great Britain v Argentina. Its dull and cold but the rain just about stays away.


The hockey will be held in the Riverside Arena. GB win the Hockey 2 – 0 in an excellent game. The BUCS University athletics is on in the main stadium plus various other events in the park and there’s big crowds. Hopefully it will be a lot warmer in August.
