So... for now I've updated the pub bit. As for route. A bit cheeky as I won't be there, but would it be better to start at that Vauxhall bit anyway? For one thing, it's easily reachable from Vauxhall Station (and Victoria/Pimlico the other way). For another, Battersea Power Station is a bit big and maybe slightly harder for public transport so getting a set point to meet is a bit harder. Plus, I think the 'point' of this TBC was to run through the newly opened Battersea Power Station paths which you wouldn't get to do if it started in the park. I've drawn up a route from the 'usual' Vauxhall place to the Bridge In Barnes and it's about 8.5 miles. |

So, for the moment, I've updated things to say: Start at the little gardens at the North End of Vauxhall bridge, finish as before at the Bridge In Branes, so all the Waht Three Words details should be as before. The route then crosses the Thames to go through the Battersea development etc. Happy to change it if required... |

I was kinda thinking along those lines originally but obviously didn't develop it before posting.  That link takes me to my own Search all routes page. |

Ah thanks AR - I'd not set it to Public. It should work now, I hope

I am withdrawing, it's going to be too hot for me, even with the river. Maybe another time.

Just checked the route, I'd gone the other way so we could have a change as that's the route we've done the last 3 times. We still got lost trying to negotiate Battersea Power Station.
