W5 done… nope, NOT Cape Canaveral!🚀

[QuadroVEINia]

This week’s landmark challenge showing over my left shoulder, can you guess what it is?

Had completely forgotten how brutal W5 is with 3 different runs, definitely felt like it stepped up from 5 mins durations for R1 to completing 20 mins non-stop today for R3!! 😬

Wasn't expecting to be able to do the 20 mins but fear of failure was proving greater so trudged along…

Must admit listening to the phone-in of people calling to express their rage over the bullying debacle yesterday involving the orange man-child and his brown-nosing side-kick was a sad distraction, but that is for another time and place! 🤯

Back to my landmark challenge, have you worked it out? (Bonus point if you can also say how it is used today!)

Answer on Monday. Ciao for now… 👋

I recognise that but I'm not going to give spoilers. When my son was at school we'd take the train to Liverpool Street and he'd say 'I really wish that was a helter-skelter'. Am I mistaken in thinking they added one to the original construction?

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Not mistaken at all, they have indeed made it into that… one on steroids!!

[CBDB Ambassador]

Well run! I love your landmark runs!

I had to do a bit of detective work and image searching, but it looks like it may be the Orbit tower? (Wikipedia , en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc... )

I’ve never been. But hubby just brought home a book about “secret London”, so looking forward to exploring the city a bit more on my next trips.

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to CBDB]

Thank you.

Correct and well done. Yes, lots to explore in London and you probably need a day to take in all the QEll Olympic Park… you can also fit in a spot of retail therapy at Westfield which is adjacent to the park!

Yes me and my children went up it during the 2012 games you got a great view into the stadium. Not been back since though.

Well done on W5, it is a tuff one

easy peasy lemon squeezy

The Arcelor Mittal sculpture/ helter skelter…

blooming well done on Run 3 I may get to that this week so understand slow slow slow is the way to go

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Good luck on your R3 attempt, definitely take all the time in the world and go at your own pace! You can do it…

[Oldwoman65 Graduate]

I have been on the helter skelter. It's wild

[drl212 Graduate]

Well done to complete Week 5, Run 3!!

Look forward to your next landmark!!

[ChannelRunner2 Graduate]

Congratulations on completing week 5 (again)!

I have no idea what that landmark is but it seems like the perfect backdrop to what's going on across the pond... Emotional roller coaster 😭
