Re: March R15
My route was
District to Notting Hill Gate (07:27)
Central to White City
run to Wood Lane (17:45) - 1 min wait, very nice start
H&C to Paddington (H&C) (26:27)
Bakerloo to Maida Vale (32:56)
Bakerloo to Piccadilly Circus (50:24)
Piccadilly to Hyde Park Corner (56:02)
bus to Marble Arch (1:04:47) - got slightly lost in the subways at Marble Arch which seem to have been partly closed since I was last there.
Central to Bond Street (1:05:44)
Jubilee to Finchley Road (1:14:55) - was originally heading for West Hampstead but realised I had a better chance of catching the NLL train by running from Finchley Road instead.
run to Finchley Road & Frognal - running 5 mins late, was my only bad connection really
NLL to Kentish Town West
run to Kentish Town (1:39:47) - met up with Tangy here
Northern to Goodge Street (1:49:19)
run to Russell Square (2:03:08)
Piccadilly to Caledonian Road (2:08:17)
Piccadilly to Kings Cross
Met to Aldgate (2:26:52) - was going to get Circle to Monument but just missed one so decided to run to Bank instead.
run to Bank (2:35:40)
Northern to Elephant & Castle (2:40:43)
Bakerloo to Embankment (2:48:08)
District to Westminster (2:50:40)
I think in hindsight the optimum route would be to do Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch straight away rather than messing about trying to do them later.
