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....

Re: Christmas Park Challenge 2018 - 8th / 15th Dec
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.

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