I visited the Cannock Chase Forest which hosted the Commonwealth Games Cycling - Mountain Bike event. We start with look around the site before moving to the start line for the men's race then after a initial fast lap around the starting area the action moves into the forest and we follow the action as the riders weave their way through the trails of the forest, some created especially for the games. Later the action switches to the women's race and we see england's Evie Richards as she completes her Gold Medal winning race. The film ends with one of the distinctive orange and gray tracksuited games volunteers wishing us a safe journey home.

The Queen's Baton Relay, part of the run up to the Birmingham Commonwealth Games visits Leicester. We start in Green Dragon Square as the relay runners arrive before following them though the streets of Leicester. The baton passes well known city landmarks like the clock tower and the Cathedral before arriving to cheers and a round of applause in Jubilee square where it is met by crowds eager to see the baton.
