C. London Poser Run Boxing Day 26 Dec 2004 - it can be done and we did it!!!
Anyone mad enough and sober enough to join us in a little run in Central London on Boxing Day?
NOTE: This run is for Londoners or those who know London well!
If you do not know how to get from Covent Garden to Hyde Park Corner without a map then you really should not be doing this run!!!
* * * Update on 22 Dec 2004 * * *
Route Outline and the detailed version now up on for scrutiny
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO AUTOROUTE VERSION of the run, due to the complexity of the route involving duplications - AR does not like it, according to Max!
Starting and End Point
Starting and End Point will be Russell Square (WC1B 5EQ) or very close to it, start time will be 10:00h Departure sharp.
In case we cannot all park around Russell Square, I suggest we meet by the Russell Square fountain from 09:30h onwards.
As for toilettes, I suggest the Royal National Hotel just around the corner
End of Run watering hole and eaterie
The End of Run watering hole will be our local - The Lamb is Lambs Conduit Street, WC1N 3LZ
The usual eateries that DK frequent are all closed on Boxing Day, however, the restaurant in the Royal National Hotel is open throughout the holiday period. Normal hotel/service station type of food, it will fill a hungry stomach, but please do not expect much in terms of quality!
Limited Number Only
The number of cars for this run will be limited to 15, and there is no minimum limit and the run will go ahead even if there are only 2 cars, which we already have
Other Important Information
It is strongly advised that you equipe yourself with PMR446 2-way Radios (walkie talkies), and set to Channel 3 Sub-channel 8 (subject to change on the day).

How wonderful!!!! Only Family commitments (none set in stone as yet) will stop me from being there so yes, my name is firmly down for this!
I was born and bred about 3 miles from Russell Square so am only too familiar with them there roads.....could probably do the run blindfoled but won't for obvious reasons
Stick me down for a maybe, if no other family commitments i'm there
*March 2003, Mini Cooper, Solid Black, White Roof, White Bonnet Stripes, Red Tartan Kaleido/leather, Chilli Pack, SSP, 6 CD Changer, Cassette Boost
Bootiful!! - Now gone But still got the MINI spirit
I shall stick you down as "Maybe's" but you will be bumped off into the reserve list is there are more than 15 "firms", and Max will car-share with me to free up another space
We'll find out for you this weekend when we visit the pub
Max and I are thinking of starting at 10:30h for a 1.5h run in time for the pub to open at 12:00h
Do the West End bit first to avoid the Sales mob before going over to the City where it will be completely empty!
I'll stick you down as 2 cars for the time being and see how it goes
If you can bring both cars, then please do so, as I expect there will be some last minute drop outs, and the area surrounding Russell Square is quite safe
Put it this way, Max would rather drive his own car than be a navigator in mine!
