Do we have a fixed starting station or time for the challenge yet?

Lets go for 12:00 meetup at King's Cross St Pancras, Pentonville Road entrance.

Participants will synchronise watches, and can depart the station at 12:10, ready to take their first photo anywhere they like, no earlier than 12:30. No photos may be taken after 14:00.

Post challenge meet will be The Rising Sun, near Barbican, for results & a drink.

Any objections?

I guess you don't have to actually photo that one anyway unless you really want to...

Yes you do... people can start anywhere reachable from the meeting point within 20 minutes. Departure time at 12:10- No photos to be taken until 12:30. If you start at King's Cross St Pancras, you'll need to take a photo of the labyrinth, just as anyone starting elsewhere.

Sorry I am totally confused it says you can start anywhere so why would you have to photo the labyrinth at KXSP as it's just the meeting point :?

You only need to photo KXSP if you choose it as your start station.

Ah, you mean before the challenge starts. Got it.

Nope :) Not a requirement nor does it count.
