I guess it's about time I did my second parkrun. Any of Oak Hill, Pymmes, Ally Pally, Finsbury Park or Highbury Fields would be OK with me.

If we are suggesting parkruns near to where we live, how about Milton Keynes?!

I am pretty much happy to run anywhere that everyone else can agree on! And I will get up at ~0630 in order to do so :P

Obviously none of these line up...

would something in between like Hampstead Heath or Wormwood Scrubs work?

Apparantly it's Pymmes Parkrun's 3rd Anniversary on the 12th. As I like it there I am tempted to want to return again. Obviously it is on GKR's preferred list but I don't know how it would work for others. I'd still prefer to find somewhere that we all could run though.

Normally run 20 - 30 miles at weekend so will run the 5k at a nice gentle pace. just to keep loose.

About the same time i'd need to be at MK station :)

The very latest I could leave to make a London parkrun would be 0759 to hop on the Victoria Line to Highbury, but I feel that I don't want to choose Highbury, in order that I can use it as a backup choice should I ever encounter delays trying to get to another parkrun.

Another convenient parkrun would be Wormwood Scrubs, 0713 Southern to Shepherds Bush and then hop on the Central Line to East Acton

I am happy running wherever.
