As above, either is also good for me atm although the 8th is likely to be the day after my Xmas works do which could make it interesting....

It seems to me that every write-up I've read about previous challenges mentions hold-ups due to Arsenal and/or Chelsea football crowds. FYI it seems that both are at home on 8th December, but both are away on 15th December.

Is it a new station for park challenge what have been the previous ones. I always like this challenge I think up crazy runs each time.

Stonebridge, Canons, Belsize, Woodside, Tufnell, Royal, Moor, Elm, Wimbledon and Newbury have been used so far. Maybe we should try a zone 1 start this year to be different.

In fact Elm twice due the abandonment following incident at Canons and Wimbledon twice as only one team started from their on "Parks Challenge I"
I was thinking maybe Finsbury this year?

Well I hope it is Finsbury Park because I have a cracking route to try out and I save Finsbury Parkrun until that date.
