Our Pioneers group were out and about yesterday enjoying a tour of The Principality Stadium.
We began our tour outside and were fascinated by a drone washing the distinctive white structural posts high above us.
Our Guide John gave us lots of information about the history of the site, and why there has always been a space for sport in the city centre.

John led us into the stadium to one of the hospitality boxes and from there we had a wonderful view of the pitch. On the pitch were a series of solar powered lamps helping to grow the grass.

One of the members sat on the Queens seat in the VIP area, the seats were very comfy, and of course had a fantastic view of the pitch. She was delighted and gave us a royal wave.

Venturing down onto pitch level we had the real emerging through the tunnel experience, we could just imagine the roar of the crowd.

We carried on through to the changing rooms and experienced a very rousing team talk which gave us all goosebumps.

We ended up in The Ray Gravell Press Room where we enacted a rather noisy press conference.

Thank you to John and Sian our tour guides for a really enjoyable and interesting tour, and of course thank you to the Sight Life Sighted Guides and volunteers too.
