Having caught up I thought that a group full network attempt was a given for this? It was great fun back in 2009 and certainly want us all to go round together.
Regarding some of the runs, yes they can be painful but all are going to be applied on the basis of a sensible pace. If I can do the runs at my age so can most of you young "whipper snappers" :wink:

Also if we could agree a starting station then I would like to start running some times through Journey planner myself. I know how much everyone loves a good poll :lol:

Apparently they are very very difficult to see out of and as the Underground is a dangerous environment as it is, I wouldn't want to make it any more risky IMO.

I think you have put me off the idea of a morphsuit so i be wearing some other costume on the management side of route planning with t4 being the most popular start Kevin and i have started rudimentary route planning may i suggest people start looking into accommodation possibilities ie. Harrow on the hill might be a good idea for a 2 night stay for example.

Quick question, are people dressing up this year? And if so, is there a theme or just anything? I know a few people are dressing up but not sure if everyone is :P
