Okay people. If the weather is up to it and enough people want to come, since nothing is organised for the BH w/e. After a chat with Owain on Sunday. No more Monopoly, no more Circle Line and no south of the river. In the spirit of a tube line skate though I have come up with this:

Skating past or into line of sight of tube stations starting from the park

Follow Piccadilly line from HPC to Kings Cross
Change to Eastern branch of Northern Line to Bank
Change to Central line to Oxford Circus
(lazy people not skate slowly to Bond street and wait)
Change to Bakerloo Line to Embankment
Change to Circle/District to Westminster
Change to Jubilee Line to Baker Street
Change to Hammsmith and Shitty line to Hammmersmith.
(People not wanting the rest can skip out at Paddington to go to the Vic)
At Hammersmith, cross road to Piccadilly station and follow Piccadilly line back to HPC.

No idea how long it is but no major hills.

Dan has estimated this as being about 19 miles point to point between tube stations so probably about 20 miles in total.

I posted it on Serpentine Road too. I need to put in some miles before Cologne and this is a pretty good distance. I also intend to route check it on Friday afternoon.

Date check the thread title..only one bank holiday coming up...Monday.

Not sure on time yet will decide in detail depending on who turns up and when I expect to be gathering bodies from 1pm but I doubt it will start before 2:30 but it will be gone by 3pm

Surely you can see your post could have meant any day this weekend?  Your original post didn't make that at all clear.

I see what you mean. Monday is the Bank Holiday the rest is just the weekend. I wouldn't dream of taking the skate along the H&S line during the Carnival on Sat and Sun. Carnival hits the park on Monday so that is a good time to be somewhere else except for meeting up. Chances are the Vic will be pretty packed too.

Main Carnival is monday, so it might get changed around for Westbourne Park and Ladbrooke Grove, or it might end at the carnival for some people. I don't anticipate that many people to do the whole route.
