Not bad for a first attempt, although I think you have missed off Terminal 5?

Re: Feedback on route idea please
Very good point on T5! I have an updated one that involves taking the bus from T4 to T5, then going back on the Piccadilly via T1, 2 and 3. The only bit I'm annoyed with is the part where I have to go off course a lot to get to Bermondsey
Re: Feedback on route idea please
Interesting very good 1 thing is i dont know what your running speed is.?10m South Wimbledon - Wimbledon is pretty tight even by me.And Running preston Road to kenton South kenton is closer but arriving in preston road you see a train approaching on the opposing platform take it back to northwick park and go kenton from there much easier.

Re: Feedback on route idea please
I know precious little about route planning, but I wonder if maybe it's too long to be practical? You're already pushing the limits of what's possible during one day with a 'perfect service' and I fear that if you get one or two delays you're going to ruin your ability to finish.
Perhaps you could knock out Epping before heading to Leyton and Walthamstow? Saves you having to traverse that section later on in the day with a reduced service?

He is either very good or he knows what he is talking about it is possible to run between the 2 in 10m but it doesnt leave much room i should kno.In relation to this post i think its quite brave to print ur entire route whether the feedback is forthcoming off members or not is another matter and you should be commended for at least for that.The Raven wrote:That average of over 5mph (according to Google maps) for a 0.9 mile run.
