Guest Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've just looked at the route of the olympic flame and realised that it goes almost straight past my setting. Am absolutely thrilled, gonna be a great afternoon out for the children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 thats great news i cant wait to see it. It is coming near us then? I know one of my ex-Brownie dads is carrying the torch, and so is one of my son's friends. But I haven't checked the route... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 max 321 how did you find the route...i can't seem to find the details anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I typed "Olympic torch relay" and then my home town into Google and it came up. It comes through our town around 4.30, so we won't be taking the children but may go into town myself. Sue J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue R Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It comes straight by our DN at approx 9.30 am Friday 29/6/12. We have been sent letters by the council to inform us as the road will be shut. Big plans to have the children standing on chairs to wave over the wall (our garden is above street level). I don't work Fridays and am going away later that day, but may pop in to see the children's faces!! Sue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Am I the only one slightly disappointed? How does it get from one 'venue' to another? It appears to fly to a shopping centre about 5 miles from us............ then fly off somewhere else! If it were to give the convoy route- I'm pretty sure it would directly pass by our setting, but we can't plan on a 'maybe' :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dotted line actually cuts straight across the fields in out case....... I'm hoping it will go down our high street- but then again perhaps they're going to use a carrier pigeon and the dotted line is the route!

sunnyday Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 My understanding is - gosh I hope I've got this right........is that for much of the time it is actually carried inside a 'bus' and then that stops and it is actually 'run' through selected places.........my little village is lucky enough to be one of these places - but even then it is only 'run' for a very short distance before it goes back into the bus........oh and the person running with it is changed every 300 metres,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
