I will do 5 miles. I may also do some other miles too; it isn't clear to me what the options are but surely I must be fit enough to trot along for at least 5 miles. Have I missed a post setting out how long the other route is? |

No. The part I ran today will approximately this: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1761370 but I'm not too happy with it for the amount of roads. This is what I actually ran today (ignore the detour, there were also other detours that I didn't remember for logging purposes) and I would say some of the paths I've missed out on the second version just aren't good for running - cramped and uneven.) http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1761360 This is my proposed second half - http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1761372 but I need to check it for traffic etc. And you'll notice I'm starting both at Hampton Court station, while we will very likely start from a car-park somewhere in Bushy Park. For the first half, an easier version would be simply along the Thames for 2.5 miles and back. Options to go further or less far at your own discretion. Distances at the moment: west portion: a bit over five miles; east portion 4.7 miles. |

There were seven gardeners at the station, who had just produced this (I suppose) and were working on other displays. |

If I'm driving all that way I want to do the 10 (-ish).

Chris there's no traffic on the second part of that route - and you don't need to reccie it, I know it very well. It's along the Thames path (same as for TBC4) and then back through Bushy Park. Simples.
