31 - Castle Street, Aberdeen - Katherine Grainger

Anna Watkins and Kath Grainger won their 23rd consecutive race and dominated the final of the Womens Double Sculls.  This famously ended Kath's run of a Silver medal in each of the previous three Olympics.  This was Great Britain's 6th Gold of London 2012.

We rolled into Aberdeen in the early evening light and were both blown away by the city.  The massive tankers seemed to be right in the heart of town and you could see the results of the oil money everywhere.  Postbox was in a large open square and a relatively easy find for being in such a big city.  By now though, we were eager to find the hotel and get something to eat.  We found a pub around the corner from where we were staying and ended a tiring day in convivial surroundings.  It turned into a crisp, cold evening reminiscent of late October... wow, it's a long way north !
