Fields Sep 2022 4:01pm, 14 Sep 2022 6,516 posts	0 Fields I spent most of Thursday afternoon on a course so I didn’t see any news till around 6. The other snippet I gleaned, which I can’t share, is exactly how many people we have sent up to London which is certainly not a mundane number.

NDWDave Sep 2022 4:57pm, 14 Sep 2022 17,311 posts	0 NDWDave I can currently see the end of the queue from my desk. 2.8 miles long now. Could be a parkrun's worth of queue soon
