I'm travelling from NW6, and dreading early start too. One possibility is Silverlink to Richmond and taxi from there.
From Putney Stn (train from Waterloo at 6.44 arr 6.59) take the bus 85 from Putney Stn to Robin Hood Gate, bus leaves at 7.04 and 7.24, and takes about 10-15 minutes.
This was easier than the route from Barnes stn.
I'm really hoping this will work, but will have to see what mood 'London Transport' is in on the day!
PS why is the run so early??
Very weird. I'm just behind Waitrose too, so Finchley Rd and Frognal is best bet. Haven't worked out yet how early I'd need to leave (too painful!)

No...
I don't blame ya
Are you still on for sub 3.30 in London?
That's the plan! did a 17 on Sunday, most of which with Andy Allen.
Entered Reading Half & Fleet Half, and an old school mate rang tonight to see if I wanted to go skiing Fleet w/e... doh, decisions... can't do FLM on crutches, but haven't been skiing for years.. er, urm, ere, erm, urrmh...
There appear to be a couple of suitable trains from London that morning:
(1)
London Waterloo dep 0614
via Clapham Jnct, Barnes, Richmond etc
Kingston arr 0657
This leaves time to walk or cycle or minicab (see yell.com) to Broomfield Hill Car Park, which is about 2 miles away by road.
I live just up the road so I could give some people a lift from Kingston Station at 0700.
(2)
London Waterloo dep 0644
via Clapham Jnct, Barnes etc
Richmond arr 0709
This leaves time to cycle or minicab to Broomfield Hill Car Park, which is about 4 miles away by road.
I should think that people driving away from the Car Park after the run might give lifts to stations and bus stops.
There are trains from London Waterloo to Norbiton (which is about 1 mile from Broomfield Hill Car Park):
dep 0600 arr 0704
dep 0614 arr 0712
dep 0630 arr 0734
The catch is that the trains terminate at Raynes Park (presumably because of engineering works) and there will be a bus link. That's usually terrible news, of course, but at that time in the morning it could just about run on time.
i may not be going all the way back up north after - but will be heading fairl central for sure!

nicky.
See you there!!
Anyone who would like to see some real sporting action(sadly lacking south of Sheffield), you're welcome to come see some Rugby League when the mighty Wakefield are coming to town to beat the London Broncos (hopefully)
Enjoy!
I am hoping to find a lift on Sunday. Is anyone driving from Angel/Islington or nearby? I will chip in for petrol, of course.
My email is ornump@hotmail.com.
Cheers, Peter.
Please let me know... amypointon@hotmail.com
Yes I go to Esporta too. I'm usually on the treadmills upstairs, quite often these days as am training for marathon (my first!) ot at yoga. Just got back from there now!
And Taton
Likewise, if there is one last place in your car, I would also appreciate a lift. You can let me know at mdgriffith@hotmail.com.
Mind you, it's going to be cold!!!
Thanks for the reassurance about the loos - feel better about it already!
See you there...... (not in the loos!!)
The first District Line train on a Sunday gets to Richmond at 0736. If you book a minicab to meet you, you'll just make the 0800 start.
I've posted some stuff about first trains from Waterloo - see page 7 of this thread.
See thetrainline.com and tube.tfl.gov.uk and transportforlondon.gov.uk for detailed journey information about trains, Tube and buses.
I notice that the 85 bus (from Putney), which runs close to the Start, has a night service (N85), so you might be able to get another night bus to connect with that.
