Re: park challenge 2016
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?
Soon to be yet another forum train driver

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

Re: park challenge 2016
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...

Re: park challenge 2016
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!

Re: park challenge 2016
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.palkanetoijala31 wrote:no no accommodating Milton Keynes people more from south majority speakstractakid wrote:Yes because that's my emergency backup I my train's late into Euston!

Re: park challenge 2016
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.

Re: park challenge 2016
Is the 17th confirmed, then? Or when will the dates be available?
