Thank you DG. I was a Games Maker volunteer here in 2012 - our group (athlete transport) was allocated to both here and the Lee Valley White Water centre for the canoe slalom, presumably given the low number of competition days at each.
I had one orientation visit and one competition day there, supervising the arrival of athlete buses, and later helping out with volunteer shuttles to the rail station (Leigh). While I was there Princess Anne visited and passed us in her car. It was a glorious day and the view was great. |
Found this place shortly after it reopened to the public.
Fabulous views and pleasant cafe and at that time had the place virtually to ourselves |
We were lucky enough to get tickets for the womens 2012 race and a great day out it was too - a return visit looks like it's in order

A belated welcome to Essex (I know - you probably know it better than I do...)
Enjoyed watching the women's race in 2012, and have since enjoyed riding the course. Somewhere between a 'blue' and 'red' rider, though I think some of the 'black' sections more doable than others. It has always seemed surprisingly quiet when I've been - possibly not as well publicised as it might be. |
My parents live 10 minutes walk from the park, though I am several thousand miles away.
On a visit last summer I took the family there and had a great day out. Besides the Olympic mountain cycling course, there's also a fairly long (three or four miles) off-road trail to ride, which my eight-year-old and ten-year-old thoroughly enjoyed (kids mountain bikes also being available for hire). It is a fantastic facility with plenty to enjoy whether a cyclist or not, whether young or old. |
Thanks for letting us know about this. Went on a great walk last Wednesday on a boiling hot day no less, started at Benfleet Station and ended up at a pub in Leigh on Sea. Brilliant walk.
