Hmm. Been thinking- Hackney is an all-tarmac course. I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to swap the venue for a grassy/trail one, which is at it's best in the summer. We could save Hackney for a wetter winter morning.
Obviously we need to do a venue that's new for Nozza so he can join the cow cowl gang.
If anyone's up for a swap, how about Lloyd, Harrow Lodge, Greenwich, Wanstead Flats or Walthamstow? If the weather turns out awful there's still Hackney!
Just a thought- what do others think?
I am easy but I thought we had a request for The Marshes from an ex forum member?

Yes but speaking to him yesterday he saw the logic in what I suggested. Lloyd might be good as it's one we both want to repeat, and nobody else has done.

I'm easy as to which one. Only problem with Lloyd is we have to get to Essex Road after which is an hours travel according to JP.
I'm staying at the Lewisham Premier Inn so not interested in Harrow lodge.
I'm tempted by Hilly Fields as only ten mins from hotel.

Lloyd works quite well for me as I can catch the train 30 mins later than planned for Hackney Marshes (This give me 28 mins to get from East Croydon station to the start) So that one gets my vote
Doh I can get the tram from East Croydon to Lloyd Park, even better

So after a quick hotel search I'm now staying in Croydon so Lloyd gets my vote. As now only a short tram ride away.

Shall we confirm Lloyd then? Also spoons just a 10min tram ride away in George Street

The H&C is indeed closed on this weekend between King's Cross and Barking, TfL have updated their Track Closures document to reflect this. Also whilst seeing what else was going on, noted that Caledonian Road station will also be closed this weekend for lift refurbishment...which will knock out the run down said road to the NLL station!
The first post of this topic updated accordingly.

That train run between King's Cross St Pancras and Holloway Road has got to be over 4 minutes then!

I'm planning to be at the R15 but probably not the Parkrun beforehand.
