Runs are only there if you include them in your route... some possible runs are short though :) Have a think about a route then decide for yourself.

If I don't include runs, the odds are I'd come last, I don't like coming last so I'm out ;)

Just crunched a route through with 7 runs, some of which that I have never done before and a bus I have never caught previously and comes out at 5hrs 41mins......
This looks nasty, nasty, nasty...... :cry:

Ooh, the first predicted time, nice. Something to aim for! And a useful indication of when the pub meet up might be, if people want to come along just for that.

As for runs we have never done before, great! That's the beauty of alternative challenges. The FNC is probably the best challenge out there in terms of satisfaction, but you only actually interact with a very few bits of it. There are only so many ways you can get from High Barnet to Cockfosters!

As long as no-one tries to run from Barking to Barkingside, you should be OK!

I was worried someone would run Park Royal to Prince Regent.

Why would you need to walk between London City Airport and Pontoon Dock??

Andi can run it quick enough to make up a train, i'm sure.
