At present it looks like any Saturday in December is fine. 24th is probably out as the network shuts down early, so maybe the 17th?

17th works for me and happy to go for that date now if OK rather than mess about with a poll...

This'll be fun sans GOBLIN!

But starting station - I think Canons, Moor, Woodside, Belsize, Tufnell, Elm, Newbury and Wimbledon have been done.

Chiswick, Royal and Finsbury I reckon could be alright. What I would like to see though is a start at Regent's or Green...

FP would be a good starting point given the absence of the GOBLIN. However it may mean that everybody winds up setting off in the same direction for a Newbury Park finish!

I suggest Grovelands as I don't believe anybody has been there yet. Lots of us have done Finsbury and some have done Highbury already and I'd personally rather not deliberately go there until I've done all other London venues. Unless the course changes to less than 5 laps which is rumoured if the road to the north gets pedestrianised.

Walthamstow? Might be another parkrun not too far from Finsbury for you lot (if we're starting there).

Then again, it's entirely up to you to fight it out.

Is the 17th confirmed, then? Or when will the dates be available?

Thanks.
