Putney then up to Hammersmith to catch the M4 would be ideal

A few laps around Hammersmith roundabout would be a good laugh

dcfkan · Nov 4th, 2003, 04:49 PM

I voted for the official run to finish at Putney than dash to Windsor for picnic via the M4

Martin, wicked idea re: ring a ring a roses on Hammersmith roundabout

hehehehe, sorry for my ignorance!!

Martin L · Nov 4th, 2003, 05:03 PM

There's about at least a dozen bridges to cross

We've got to make sure if we can fit the Kings road in

ButtonIt · Nov 4th, 2003, 05:10 PM

If we finish at Wandsworth bridge (we'll be heading north over it) the we can head up Wandsworth bridge road, turn left down part of the kings road, then the full way along Fulham palace road to the A4 at Hammersmith. Yay-Nay?

What's wrong with going all the way (if you'll excuse the phrase)?

What I predict to be a couple hours of slow traffic just posing is about all most people can take I think. Unless you're a total tart and enjoy posing

yep - there's people coming from all over for this. I'm sure they'd like to have a longer run - and see more of the Thames along the way too.

.There's still Richmond Park and Richmond Hill outside Mick Jaggers place overlooking the river

As this could potentially take some good organisational skills perhaps we need another thread for the volunteers to help - there seem to be a few

SoggyCornFlakes · Nov 5th, 2003, 01:12 PM

I'm for the whole run - it's a day out not a half day

There's plenty of time to organise this and get a good route sorted so no need to panic yet. Maybe try both options and see which is best - I'm sure the MMM's would dry run the routes on their Sunday jaunts

Rakey · Nov 5th, 2003, 01:22 PM

I'm not fussed, whole run might be more fun, more interested in how many threads this run will have by the time it happens

Simon James · Nov 5th, 2003, 01:48 PM

Hey! maybe every bridge needs a separate thread,

with 'bridge vital statistics' . Width, length, number of arches......

Initially I thought just do Tower to Putney, I am not to bothered either way really, although thinking about it it does get easier the further west you go. Can't remember how many bridges there are from Putney to Windsor

I think we need a list/new thread....
Plenty of time to plan, dry runs will reveal more, and all the probs we hadn't even considered...
