Debra Edmundson | Sunderland RFC U17 | London Tour
A Sky High Sports Tour to the Capital
can take on three guises. Stay, as we
feature here, at Lee Valley, an area
revolutionised by the 2012 Olympics,
sleep under the shadows of St Pauls
Cathedral in the city or, if you nail
your fundraising, wake-up to views of
the pitch at Twickenham by staying
at the Stadium9s opulent Marriott
Hotel.
In either event, we9ll ensure you see
the sights & pack the tour with
sporting experiences for your team.
Our Lee Valley HQ is next-door to
Cheshunt Station, making an evening
trip to the city a doddle. It is also just
2-miles from Corsham RFC, a club
with a stunning new Clubhouse &
immense 3G pitch, making it an ideal
training HQ on night one.
The legacy of London 2012 remains
strong in the area. The awesome
white-water venue is on your
doorstep, whilst BMX & Mountain
Biking at the QEII Park are excellent
activities to include.
Saracens are nearby too, with match
tickets,
coaching
clinics
&
opportunities to play your oxtures all
readily available as they take their
enforced but likely brief lay-off from
the top tier.
Staying in Twickenham
Stadium is a genuine option. It
does carry a premium, but away
from matchdays, this is an
incredible opportunity.
Combine it with a visit to the
superb World Rugby Museum
as part of a guided tour of HQ,
take in a Harlequins match
nearby at The Stoop & spend
the evening at Rugby9s most
famous Rugby Pub, the
Cabbage Patch. Get in touch to
ond out more.
