Where to get water at the Olympic Park

Take an empty bottle through security with you.  There are plenty of water fountains, usually near the food stalls.  Once into the stadium you will find drinking fountains behind some of the outer circle toilets.  There are lots of food outlets so move away from the ticket check area and you will find less crowded outlets

The queues to buy drinks are long as you come in but ease once the events start.  It pays to leave your seat early and get refreshments as the queues got longer again about 11.30.  Drink and chocolate sellers do come around during the event as well

Push chairs and the Olympic Park

The Mouse family saw the Paralympics athletics yesterday.  They travelled on the Javelin train from Kings Cross to Stratford International.  The escalator was very busy and people with pushchairs had to    fight their way through the crowds to get to the lift.  Some people found it hard to get off the train - it is probably easier to be in the front or back carriage and wait for the crowds to thin before trying to get to the lift.

At the stadium there are several buggy parks which filled up very quickly.  Tie something distinctive to yours so you can retrieve it easily
