I may well be coming by train from Exeter for this one - I'm hoping it'll be an 11am start? Any earlier and I might not make it in time.

I might actually need to join a little bit later, depends what time my folks need to leave for the airport. Hadn’t factored their dates into things! Will confirm closer to the time

11am is a good time as it allows for people travelling from outside London, and/or give the chance for a parkrun beforehand. Still need to fix on a route

Shall we start at Waterloo then? Might be easiest for everyone to meet in terms of transport options

Pretty much what 2019 was (but I clearly mismeasured and don't understand which bridges we can cross!) THis was the TBC route in March 2019 fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1800173 |

I think we started at the National Theatre that time, let's cut off half a mile and start from Festival Hall maybe? That skips the first bridge
