Thanet district council have produced this leaflet
Inside is this map, I copied the detail from
Simon Moores’s blog and the quality isn’t that good. the pink line is the torch route.
Here is the actual route from the official torch
route map on The Olympic Games website, the yellowy brown line is the torch route.
So if you follow the map on the council’s leaflet and line
Madeira Walk, Wellington Crescent and The Plains of Waterloo, you won’t
actually see the torch.
Michael why ask this is Thanet and TDC are inept in all areas
ReplyDeleteThe council`s route is much better. King Street is a bit of an eye-sore.
ReplyDeleteThe only Olympic event in ramsgate and they get it wrong. Sack them.
ReplyDeleteObviously the TDC map was produced for them by the Isle of Thanet Gazette who recently claimed that the refurbished Charles Dickens pub was The Old Charles which is several miles distant.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Why are we not surprised ?
ReplyDeleteMost people at TDC don't know where Ramsgate is.
ReplyDeletePeter, I too get this impression. The trouble is that none of them has the gumption to find out.
DeleteFor the benefit of the TDC officer responsible, Ramsgate & Margate can be found at the following location: 30degs 51'.39" S 30degs 21' 29.95" E. Well lets not quibble, it's close enough. Is it time to go home yet. It must be gone four.
ReplyDeleteWhat about St. Lawrence the oldest and original part of Ramsgate where the 'Torch' Was advertised as going?. Instead it diverted at Nethercourt Circus and went along London Road. Perhaps there are more wealthy people there or officials.
