With the Olympic Torch Relay happening next year, caravanners hoping to see the torch on its travels are perfectly positioned to take their tourer to a site nearby, now that the route has been announced.
Setting off from Land’s End on May 19th, the Flame will be taken on a journey around many of the UK’s top landmarks before it arrives at the Olympic Stadium resting point at the end of July.
There are caravan and camping sites dotted around the route across the country, with some award-winning Camping and Caravanning Club sites very close to the route the torch will take.
For those hoping to catch the Olympic Flame as it sets off on its marathon voyage the Sennen Cove site at Land’s End is the perfect desitnation for a trip away, with many other parks, including ten ‘Camping in the Forest’ Club Sites which will also see the torch pass nearby.
“We are delighted to be able to offer a number of campsites in locations close to the Relay Route and we hope all campers take advantage of this unique opportunity to support what is such an historic event,” said Bob Hill, the Club’s sites director.
The Camping and Caravanning Club is also offering those lucky enough to bag tickets to the Games themselves the chance to stay in the capital during the Olympics.
Four Event Campsites will be running during the Games, offering affordable accommodation to caravanners heading to the capital.
Conveniently situated close to Stratford station, the sites are less than 15 minutes from the Olympic Park and Stadium too.
Commenting on the Olympic sites, Mr Hill said: “In the current economic climate, it is imperative we continue to provide affordable accommodation options and our summer of 2012 sites will allow everyone to enjoy all of the sporting action.”
