I hope everyone is OK after this ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-40897094 ... and nothing like it happens tomorrow!
On the plus side, the weather looks to be nice for the day. I got rather wet when I did my test runs 3 weeks ago!

It certainly was a great day to be attempting a NW corner test run, coming down the Bakerloo line at 10am .... but maybe better than my normal commute which gets off at Oxford Circus Victoria line....

Re: Triple Crown Day - 12th August
Well, pretty much at the very last moment I've decided to give this a bash. Have what I believe to be a fairly decent route, and I wonder if I'll be seeing any of you at the starting station...

Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.

Ten dozen, to be precise, though a fair number of those are pretty stupid places to start! (Nobody's going to start at say Gallion's Reach or Dundonald Road...)

Re: Triple Crown Day - 12th August
Looking forward to todays challenge now that I am back in the UK. I also have a route sorted and it is the slower of the 2 routes on paper but should still come in at under 7 hours. A lot of printing off may be needed to say the least as I may get lost at some point!

Last minute decision to give this a go, including parkrun.
Will have to wing it on the route planning.

Have a great day. I especially hope you enjoy the suburban delights of New Addington and, depending on route, South Norwood Country Park.
