I have been looking over the original route on a program called Tyre. Free download available - http://www.tyretotravel.com/ and have made a couple of minor alterations. First to take in Diana's Fountain car park in Hyde Park, 2nd pick up point and Tooley St. I assume there has been a road closure there somewhere which will cause us to do a couple of U turns. A good photo opportunity for early morning tourists but not easy for those of us not confident doing power spins!!
Also having checked the Royal Parks website, The Mall and Constitution Hill close at 8am. I reckon if we leave the Fountain car park soon after 7, we should make the run up The Mall from Trafalgar Sq before then.
I have attached the itn file (rev 4) for those who have a TomTom. You will need to change the suffix from "txt" to "itn" as I can't post an itn file.
See you all at 7 at Di's Fountain car park!

Yep. I'm planning to be at Heston around 6:15 so see you there. Might be wise to get off ASAP before traffic starts to build. Go pros are currently charging :) see you in the morning!

Agree - great raid. Great to meet some new faces.

I'm working to upload all of the GoPro pics and vids. Should have this complete within a few days.

Best get the next one planned before it gets too cold :) I'm thinking mid October?

Cheers

Chris.
