The men's pentathlon, the afternoon session, so I'll get equestrian, running and shooting, and the medal ceremony. Which should make for a fun afternoon.

I'm sure I'll be reporting back, though it's right at the end, the penultimate day.

I was so sad that the Olympics were coming to England and I hadn't managed to get a ticket to see any of it. So now I'm all excited!

I wish you could come too!

Woot! :D What have you got them for? (My cousin managed the Men's 100m final which is very cool, but you're the only other person I know who's managed anything).

I've got them for the men's pentathlon, the afternoon session, so I get equestrian, running, shooting and the medal ceremony. Just over 4 hours, in Greenwich Park. I nearly went for a rowing session as well, but I decided to be sensible and not overspend.

Getting the Men's 100m final is amazing! I looked for the Men's 100m relay final, and the only tickets left were about £450 and £725... If you're guessing I didn't try for one of those, you're right!

Wow... you're going to be in London for the whole thing. :) Hope it's not too much of a trek for you.

Greenwich is beautiful, my Grandad lived right on the Heath near the entrance.

He's seriously chuffed. It is funny, though I don't think it'd be my top choice of event. It's the shortest and the winner is already fairly certain. But then I like odd sports, archery would have been fun.

I often have a day in London, so it'll be easy enough, though I imagine getting out to Greenwich from the centre will take longer than usual. And yes, it's a lovely area, though last summer the park did look a bit odd when they cordoned off the Olympic area in practice.

I was thinking about archery too - I meant to do it at school, but ended up doing fencing instead - I can't remember why now, but I'm still fascinated by it. There are still some sessions for sale, actually. I've been eying them up.
