Olympic Cross Country Day - Dog Friendly?

[doddlebot]

Hiya! Bit of a lurker but wondered if anyone knew the answer to this as google has failed me!

Got cross country day tickets with the family and my mum wants to know if you can take dogs in so we can book a dog friendly hotel! Not the end of the world if we can't, but would be nice to know!

Thanks!

I don't 'think' dogs are allowed (except for guide dogs). I know there is going to be mega security checks, and dogs just add to that.
BUT, I don't know for sure.

Not a lot of help really!! I'm going on XC day, but the pooches stay behind - as always.

Don't know for sure but I would doubt it It will not be like a 'regular' X- country day where you park your car in the parkland nearby - the chances are you will be on train or tube or will be parked quite a way away. The location and logisitcs would stop me from taking mine and they normally go with me.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case. I wasn't that keen on taking them anyway, they're both young and lively and I'd spend the whole day worrying that one would get off the lead and chase a horse!

I think I'll just talk her into sending them to stay with aunty for the day!

Thanks!

I've just checked the 2012 website and they are definitely not allowed (guide and assistance dogs excepted). Sorry.

If there was a possibility they could get off the lead and chase a horse I don't think I'd be taking them!

Look back at the comments on the dogs that get loose at badminton and burghley... (I think it was those two events)

Def no dogs allowed.

Mine always wear a double harness at events, so normal collar and a harness. Never bother normally but with a harness (albeit a nice padded fleecy one), there is not a cat in hells chance any of them can slip their collar off.
