Congrats to Dorset Gal!


Recommended Posts

I'm just watching the TV pictures of Dorset Gal carrying the Olympic torch through London. Its not every day a cacher has a personal bodyguard of Chinese special forces. Well done for braving the crowds after the scuffles earlier <_<

 

Amusing to listen to the commentators debating who you were as they didn't have a clue!

Just saw Wendy and Caesar on the telly! Well, they were tiny little dots viewed from the helicopter. So glad she was doing a leg where there weren't so many crowds - I was concerned for her after the earlier problems.

Well Done Mandy,

I forgot about this until i saw the highlights coming on after the news. Was very disappointed that they didn't show any of your leg.

Look forward to seeing pictures.

I am sorry that I could not be there in person to see you do your bit but I am working in Singapore at present so only saw some glimpses on CNN. My wife has told me she managed to record your bit and say there is some good footage of you. Well done to both of you!!!

The K-Boys are really Klever.Thats a top pic and I'm giving my own personal "BIG whoopeee" to DG and GD too. :( Looks like you may be one of the last to do this as the IOC may now curtail the torch thing altogether. I'll offer no comments on the political situ of the days events. :unsure:

Thanks for the picture. :):)

 

Good to see that Wendy and Caesar didn't need too much protection :):)

 

I'm not joking when I say that's only a few of the coppers. I had to crop a lot of them out otherwise the picture would have ended up being too wide. I kid you not!

Thanks for being Klever with the TV still Klever Boys! The torch is flaming particularly well in that shot! In a lot of the coverage it was difficult to know if the flame was lit or not. Well done Wendy and Caesar, I'm sure you are very proud!

now if the Klever boys can upload it to a cache log, it will become a Banner photo on the front page of GC :D

 

I sent a link to the Klever boys post to one of the Lackeys :D who on this occasion I'm sure wont mind me sharing the reply

 

Oh WOW!

 

Fabulous, indeed. Thank you for sending it along.

 

If this is also uploaded as part of a geocache log, I can make it a banner image

 

:P:D

That's great!

Perhaps with Wendy's permission I can somehow work it into a log of one of her London caches that I found recently and take it from there?

 

Please let me know if that's ok?

Wow, of course that would be brill, many thanks!

congratulations to you both ...such a sterling effort. Sunday morning we thought you may have been snowed in :laughing:

 

Children are so proud of you too wendy and have been telling all their friends they know the lady who carried the olympic torch in London :D

 

pray you recover from your adventures quickly

Looks like you had the nod about possible trouble on the day Wendy - I see you fitted the Bull Bars to your wheelchair :o

 

The funny thing is when I showed the pic to my kids its Caesar that they recognised first. I hope you got plenty of nice pics of the day sent to you.

I'm so pleased you had a great time, protesters permitting! How fantastic to have been chosen to carry the flame :anitongue:

 

So, like past torch carriers, did you get to keep the Baguette du Flambe? (thanks to currykev who has fixed a permanent image in my mind) :anitongue:

I got the first pictures through today from the photographers. I'll just share one here.

That photo is MUCH better quality and I'd like to place THAT one on the front banner rotation instead of the other one (which I think was captured from video?). Wendy, is that part of a geocache log? if so, please send me the link to the log itself. I can't do much with just the image link.

Yes it was.

It was the only picture available at the time. Sorry.

Wendy

 

Really great to see the pictures, sorry we couldn't be there.

 

Hope you chose yourself a nice hunky policeman to take home with you, preferably a dog handler so Caesar doesn't miss out! :laughing:

No apology needed at all. Good of you to do it in the first place. Now we have a nicer image to use: Teamwork and time is great!

Ahh! So it was you Wendy, I saw a photo of you somewhere and did think "is that Dorsetgal"? Turns out it was.

 

I was in London all day chasing the torch through the city seeing it at seven locations. Unfortunately I missed you two, whereabouts did you carry it?

 

My photos from the day can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/gp/66246955@N00/3kB077.

 

Congratulations on your efforts, it must have been very memorable, especially with the controversy surrounding the event which I encountered throughout the route.
