The problem and Kevin will atest to this is starting at t4 means you basically have to finish up in the north west corner which means a 30m service at the end miss a scheduled train around then if ur route is tight and bang ur schedule goes back another 30m.

Kevin thought he had covered but forgot to Double Back preston road which caused a ripple effect towards watford.

We have almost 2 months to come up with something tangible on paper that will suit all our runners speeds. Andi and Kev will continue to number crunch and I am sure we will find something competitive if not GWR pace... :)

As explained in previous post you would find it hard to have a route that doesnt include amersham/chesham as a starting or finishing point.

We now have the final route sorted sorry Garion and Joe but at times you will have to push yourself but if you want a good time then you will just have too grin and bear the pain.

We have all the door positions to figure out but basically knowing the route doesnt really matter that much until the day itself we have tried to cut out as much long runs as possible but you will still without luck of buses be expected to run.(At least you will have world class tc runners here who will help you use the least energy as possible.)

World class? So you've tackled Paris, Rome, New York? No... not sure world class is what you are then :P

Also, can us normals see the route?
