I've only got my iPhone camera! So my "footage" is not going to be the best.

Also, I've been thinking about accommodation. I will probably be staying at the travelodge in whetstone. Since we'll be finishing at Cockfosters i might as well book the Thursday and Friday nights.

Sounds great! I'll book it tonight. My knowledge of travelodges is that 3 people sharing is the same price as 2. Unfortunately my mate Nick (who was at pub at the last r15) has not been able to get the day off. I can't get in contact with my other mate who showed an interest.

So long as you don't snore! :D

I am thinking of parking near the 307 bus route Bramley Road / Cockfosters Road in the morning then catching the bus to High Barnet so my car is fairly near the finish...
Does anyone know if street parking is OK around that area or is it permits?

Looks like the N41 to Archway then N20 for me. Pity the train we start on runs dead out of Highgate depot rather than in service, could have had a bash of the middle roads at East Finchley...

Im In.

Will probably drive down from Watford in the wee small hours and get there a bit early and kip in the car for an hour or so as im awful with alarms (half deaf you see, I slept through a tree being cut down outside my window once).

If I somehow do miss you due to me not getting there Im sure I could meet you at Watford (Which by the way is a good place to stock up on snacks and drinks as you get a few minutes between train arriving and departing and there is a small shop in the station.
