[The Orange One]

Though I won't be there, given the next round is NR Z1-2, might I suggest Brockwell? I've only been there once, and it was very foggy that day, but it looked alright. Nearest stations Herne Hill and North Dulwich (nearest tube Brixton, loads of buses from there).

Looking at a couple, Walthamstow looks very boring. I'd save that for when Tangy joins you, if that day should ever arise. My nearest is currently Colby, which is a good 30 miles or so away, but when I get back to London, it will probably be the equally dull Highbury Fields.

Harrow Lodge looks most interesting at one lap. Quite far out though!

well its about time the BERC got his finger out and starting organising round 3 meet up place and time then i dont mind any one but if ur going to do one north of london certain people need to know as they got to get first train out of bmth in order to have a chance of making 9am

Don't forget it has to have a spoons nearby or on route to start station.

[tractakid]

We can divert to a spoons if there's not a hugely convenient one, there's time.

[The Orange One]

Spoons finder mentions The Sir John Oldcastle (29-35 Farringdon Road, next to Farringdon Station). Does this count as between Ally Pally and City Thameslink? I presume you are taking Great Northern to King's Cross and then Thameslink from St. Pancras to City Thameslink.

ah the old favourite sir john oldcastle home of where the planning for new york went!

[Going Underground]

I thought Ally Pally had been agreed? Spoons at Wood Green as well.... You really need to eat ASAP to digest before doing R15 rather than heading towards to start station..

[palkanetoijala31]

the only problem with ally pally is people from the south cant get there in time without an overnight stop

[palkanetoijala31]

actually some help would be needed here perhaps a google maps of the station and park run would be helpful i have managed to figure something out not something i would do usually.

[The Orange One]

There's always National Express (think it's the 035). Parkrun is next to Alexandra Palace station.
