Diane, I think Asamic and I can join you at the Royal Armouries around 11am, give or take 15 minutes. Its a 15min bus journey from our parkrun. A bus 28 leave 10:42am or 11:02am....(and yes, I checked the right day of the bloody timetable this time!)
Ha ha as if I would question your transport links ;)
We will probably be leaving The Armouries just after 11 but I have my phone with me.

I think you will be in good hands -- Diane and Mr G always have a plan! You might want to keep your running shoes on just to keep up with them!

What does everyone think of the above?
Quite a few of them are just to meander through as we are walking past. I know that I am ridiculous at times with what I think that we can fit in a day. Thinking of the Royal Armouries in the morning leaving at about 11ish and meander across the city incorporating the Victorian arcades and the Minster as its just over a mile walk to the meet up (15 minute brisk walk) so plenty of time to soak up the architecture on our way past (added bonus not being frog marched across Leeds by me).
After the meet up do the city museum and walk through the corn exchange passing the cathedral - just to enjoy the scenery.


Steve9872 if I am missing anything please just say.

I have even found this myself - I just love the building :D
Just catching up and looking through the itinerary, thanks Diane and anyone else who has had a hand in it, it's all looking good.

Not long to go now o/

Now do I have this right? First off Asamaic and Mr G will be doing the '5K ParkRun' and then a raft of FMUKers will be doing the '10K follow Diane around Leeds Run'? It all sounds terrific and well planned and hope you all enjoy the get-together!
