A friend took his family to that London over half term a year or two back to do some sightseeing and, when I looked at his Ever since I learned about it, it has been firmly on my to do list. Obviously it's not going to happen in 2020, but I will be looking for an opportunity. The original run seems to have been devised by someone at Serpentine Running Club and I'll put details in the sidebar. Has anyone done it? Any tips, other than "start early"? |

Yes, years ago (9 in fact) I did this run with Mrs Winkle, Garfield, John66, Magpie Rob and K8.
So long ago that any tips I might have had may no longer be useful. It's a fun thing to do. |

[ Idly wonders how far it would be to do them in order .... ] There's just been a Salisbury version released, may have to look at that and see how far it would be to run the board. |

The Serpies route looks more efficient than mine - I took about 18 miles to do it.

I did the stag do version over 20 years ago - have a drink in a pub on each of the streets plus the 4 stations. Never used a one day travel card as much as that day.! Not much running happened though |
