Drive in London on Sunday ?

Post by benyeats » Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:49 pm

Clare and I have occasion to visit the big city on Sunday.  Anyone around and up for a drive, perhaps just a posing run or maybe even a dawn raid, or maybe a cruise round in Clare's Audi if it is raining.

Add your name here if you are interested

Cheers

Depends on the format of the run I suppose, Clare has a plan for the day so will have to ask her, I am only the driver

Subject entirely to the weather forecast remaining favourable, I could well be up for this - I miss Atom gatherings in London!

Any more detail on the actual plan?

Can't make an promises.

The main reason I will be in London is because Clare has an appointment near St Pauls at 10:30 on Sunday finishing at 14:30 therefore I suggest an early morning run that way people have the rest of the day free to do Sunday type stuff.

Therefore lets meet at 08:00 in the car park to the dome.  Then take a route something like:

Blackwall tunnel
Canary Wharf underground tunnels bit
Towards and cross Tower bridge
Tooley Street Tunnels (several laps)
Cross London bridge
Along Embankment
Cross Waterloo Bridge
Cross Westminster Bridge (would love a pic of my car with my namesake, Big Ben)
Buckinham Palace
The Mall
Trafalgar square
Strand
Kingsway Tunnel

Assume that lot will take a few hours with coffee stops etc.  Anyone who actually has a clue about the Geography of the smoke feel free to chip in / comment.

Head to St Pauls to drop Clare off
On to somewhere for a fry up

Or I am up for Atom related activities for the rest of the morning

Cheers
