BBC Radio 1 Hide and Seek | Thames RIB Experience

We were lucky enough to welcome aboard Radio 1 DJ’s Nick Grimshaw and Greg James for this year’s newest addition of the world’s largest game of hide and seek and one of our Yellow and Black speedboats Exterminator was used to get Nick and Greg to a secret location to begin the game!

Hide and Seek Begins
With the game starting at the O2 Arena, we were ready to hand Nick and Greg they’re life jackets at Tower Millennium pier to get them to the starting line. Once they’d grab the jackets, put them on zipped them up they were ready to board Exterminator! (Famously used to film certain scenes in Spectre!) Once Nick and Greg took their seats, we were ready to blast down the River Thames under the iconic Tower Bridge!

The High Speeds
Twisting, turning and racing down the river with speeds up to 35mph Nick and Greg were told to ‘Hold On Tight’ and they certainly did! With bumps throughout the trip as we raced down towards the O2, ready to drop Greg and Grimmy off to start the worlds largest game of hide and seek!

Departure
Once we arrived at the o2 with Radio 1’s most talked about presenters, we were ready to head back to carry on our day blasting up and down the River Thames in our world famous Yellow and Black Speedboats, but not before we grabbed a quick selfie! … We even made it onto the Radio 1 Hide and Seek YouTube video which you can see below!
