Hm, looks to me as if your map still needs a few corrections, Nic, assuming that the versions I've linked to are up-to-date. Compare, for instance, the shapes of Walbrook and Langbourn wards.

This is from 2013 and matches mine, yours was from 2011, I guess they have been updated somewhere...

Ha, well, I might of course have spotted this on the page I linked to myself ...

mands

thanks Miss Mouse for the corrections.

It'll be a rabbit warren route through and around the city with a few stops and starts to visit places of note in each ward.
I'm going for a very social start of maybe 12pm or later.
Still working on route.

As for finish, we're hoping for ladies track which is 5pm in HH so about 4pm-ish.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
