It's a good one to plan for Woodside & Elm look quite tricky to incorporate. Shame I wont be there.

Geoff all you have to do now is caluculate my starting station.....
Perhaps the chosen starting station of Wimbledon Park?
This does look interesting - does anyone else think they can make it|?
And my first thoughts about a route suggest knocking Moor Park off quite early...

Somehow Ric I knew that you'd come up with something hare-brained like that. You always do.
I'll be up for the Park challenge.

Hmmm....8hrs 15 theoretical...maybe need to rethink that one.
Getting between Elm Park and Newbury Park is a pain to the order of an hour whenever you do it, or am I missing something?

The "guess my starting station" was a tadge tongue in cheek
Yes I can't see an easy way of getting between Elm Park - Newbury Park either
My theoretical is 7hrs 30mins....but there are a lots of "if's and but's"
Looking forward to seing ric and starkey and the day

Take the District line one stop back to Dagenham East and get the 364 bus.
Honestly, I'm not even doing this and here I am working out your route for you ...

Well that's why you are Mr Guru I guess....
I did spend some time looking at bus connections but I couldn't see what station on the central line the 364 goes to
Also I would think that journey time by bus to anywhere in that vacinity would be 40 mins or so......

Crossing Eastern Avenue at Newbury Park could be tricky - it's the A12 (or is that the A13?) and it's dual-carriageway with railings in the middle.
There may be a subway.

You read my mind I was just nosing at that on A to Z now.. still looks better than doubling back to West Ham / Stratford...
I had been trying to resarch buses on TFL and couldn't find much that was of help......
cheers

That's because the website is shit for buses.
Use the Greater London Bus Map as I did there.
