I have checked our route for the Walk London event on Saturday and yes we can go up on to the Olympic viewpoint.

We shall take an unusual route between Three Mills and the Olympic Park as so many paths are closed but this is an unusual time. We can use a quiet canal-side path on the Bow Back Rivers to get there.

This week I thought that the Olympic Stadium really did seem huge for the first time. It is a big change from February and it is a landmark which will be with us for the rest of our lives. Walkers will be surprised.

Much of the blue perimiter fence has come down so now when on the towpath north of Old Ford Lock you can see into the Olympic Park.

We meet on Saturday 30 May at 2pm outside Limehouse Station.

The end is at Hackney Wick Station.

It’s free. All welcome.

And the weather forecast for Saturday is “sunny”
