Pearson Interesting Summer Olympics logistical statistics:
Over the next couple of days, we will be bringing you some Interesting Summer Olympics logistical statistics!
The two weeks of summer that everyone has been waiting for are finally here – The Olympic Games. Taking place in London, England this year, the Olympics is one of the most watched sporting events on the planet. With this much national attention, a copious amount of detail and planning must go into the preparation of the Games. This entails a huge logistical challenge in how to overcome the mass transportation of products, athletes, workers and attendees to the London Olympics.
There has been reports that there has been two months of rain in 24 hour in the UK. Well we have been in to Newquay over the weekend and Saturaday was a lovely day but at 2am Sunday morning the rain began. And it didn’t stop all day plus being on the coast means you get the sea breeze, or should I say gale winds haha.
It rained that much the roof started to leak at the hotel we was in.
While we have been down there we tried out a few bars clubs and restaurants.
The best resurant we can recommend is a place called Steams.
It is in a great location over looking the coastline. The food is really nice and excellent value for money.
Suitable for families couples and groups.
9/10
We also when to over bars and clubs and found a bar and night club call Berties was the best.
Music was varied but that cant be a bad thing because everybody can enjoy it.
The atmosphere was good and lively.
These two recommendations are 100 meters from one another so for the ladies who are in heels dont worry its in waling distance.
Aberystwyth is located on the coast of mid Wales. This is a small town that on the coast. It has got all the quality you can a imagine of a small town. Unique shops such as local craft shops, candy stores etc.
There is a nice resturant on the pier that overlooks the sea. This is especially nice when the sun is setting. also there is a arcade to entertain the kids.
The beach is a peppy not sandy. If you want a sandy beach you will need to travel north to Borth.
The image above is of a beach of the Costa Blanca, a resort area south of Valencia. With its stunning views and blue skies and clear water. This is a beautiful holiday destination. or if you are looking to relocate to a sunny location.
Pearson has taken a trip to Wollinton Hall in Nottingham. The building was built between 1580 and 1588. There is plenty of grounds to walk around on a nice summers day. The house is impressive but compare to other manor house located around the Uk it is quite small. Wollinton Hall and Deer Park is currently a council owned building, this is rare because most manor houses located in the UK are managed but the national trust.
The hall is open to the general public free of charge. but you will have to pay for the the car parking. The parking costs are £2.00 for 3 hours or £4.00 for all day.
Also in the court yard there is a engine museum that costs £2 per person.
If you fancy a bit to eat there is a cafe on site. Seating is limited on a bad day but if the weather is fine, the cafe does provide plenty of seating outside.
This is a great budget day out.
Harlaxton College is the British campus of the University of Evansville in Indiana, USA. They main aim is to “we are—to state it simply and directly—one of the finest study-abroad campuses anywhere in the world.”
This is set in the British country side and surround by English heritage. But filled with the state of the art technology
Lets bring it back to the UK. Near the Nottingham, Linconshire the is a monor house that was built in the 1800’s.
It was used in the film The Haunting (1999) I can under stand why with its gothic exterior is the ideal setting for a horror movie.
You can visit this manor house any time through out the year. It is currently used a university campus but you can stay the night as a guess. The grounds are so big they have wedding venues there to while the campus is open.
It is well worth the visit if you are into English heritage and Gothic architecture, Or if you are planning on getting married.
