Does anyone have a definitive "Bottle" map please? I'm pretty sure I've got it right, but I want to be sure before I try to enact a fatally flawed plan!
Everything on or inside the 'Bottle' part of the Circle Line (i.e. not including the Hammersmith Branch, so Paddington H&C is not included), plus Edgware Road (Bak) and Marylebone (which are included for historical reasons).

I hope everyone is OK after this ...

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....

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...

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...)

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.
