olympic torch route, swindon

Sun comes out in Swindon for Olympic Torch.

The Olympic torch is currently making its way around the country before reaching the opening ceremony in July. On its journey from Bristol to Cheltenham it made its way through Swindon.

There were hundreds of people lining the streets to cheer on the Olympic torch relay runner, including all of us at Swindon car and van rental. As the torch was behind schedule it gave us an extended break from day to day van hire duties.

We found a great vantage point for a photo by standing on the grass verge of a round-a-bout. This spot was ideal especially as the sun had come out.

Overall it was a memorable day with the Olympic torch making an appearance and also the sun too!
