Where to see the torch

If you’re struggling with the council’s PDF downloads of the Olympic torch relay route in Sheffield then you may find this interactive Google map by @beaneee useful. It shows the route for Monday 25 June. The torch also departs Don Valley stadium at 6.45am on Tuesday.

Best place to watch it on Monday? I’d be tempted by The University Arms, where there is live music, a barbeque and their usual choice of good beer. Anyone know if any other pubs on route doing anything special?
