What with Children in Need only a couple of months away, did we want to get some plans in place for this year's charity run?

I've two friends interested in the challenge. This will also be my first attempt. Would it be in one big group or in rival groups?

i do have the idea of one big group with an unusual starting place on the table!and it also take out one big headache of a distance!

Do tell!

I was thinking of the High Barnet start Cockfosters finish u get a perfect MHE and then go round anti clockwise around the map.

that is defiantly different!

I bet no-one done that route before!

I assume that would involve a chilton train to amersham during the middle of the day

I do also have my special starting place to that involves as long as people can be alert for the first short run of the day and hour into the challenge a 3 min run but very short a perfect 2 of the 3 trifecta.The beauty of this is that the station i would choose to park the car is so close to both start and finish points.AND NO ITS NOT CHESHAM OR AMERSHAM.

Will be working on this route tonight im quite happy to divulge this route if a big group goes i have no idea on the estimated time surfice to say i expect it be not near the gwr.But if it is i naturally keep it under my hat

So if you disapper again we know why?

Traditionally CiN day has normally been done in teams to give it a slightly competitive edge so I may take on Andi's team
I quite fancy the High Barnet Cockfosters route as is nice and easy for start/end logistics and there is no reason that as many "rival" teams as possible could be involved and it would a little spice, especially if all leaving on the same train That said if anyone wants to do Amersham T5, Epping Upminster or whatever tickles your fancy on the day then that is fine
OK to get me started what departing train do you have in mind Andi

i would probably start at High Barnet on the 05.20 train.

I agree with kev more teams the merrier as it adds a bit of spice to the day.
High barnet has a lot going for it logistics wise.

Pity there is no such thing as an N34!! The first route 34 bus to High Barnet arrives there at 0520...

I will proably stay at the travelodge at Whetstone & either walk up or get the N20.

This is the route that i have decided to publish here starting on the 05.40 train out of High Barnet.
