I spend all week "telling people what to do" and herding cats. One of the things I love about The Fridays is being one of the cats and not having anyone look to me for leadership for a change.

Simon: Candle duly lit for you and your daughter.

a) Martin and others will run the tour

OK. Now it is in the public domain, I think it is time for an explanatory thread (rather than the "conversation" that has taken place) from me. This will be a long read and take a while to compose. I try with these things to write them, cut them, and leave them for a while before returning to them and then cut them some more. So it might be a while before it appears.

that's an odd one. I'm going in precisely the opposite direction, hoping to do something with 'CTC'.

Now you really are getting your brand values mixed up.

Who knows what the "brand" will end up being.........

Is the intention to be more like this?

I have a feeling most people want things to remain like this

 

[Flying Dodo]

I think we should be patient and have a bit more faith..

It's like waiting to wake up on Christmas Day morning...........

Here's a route - slight puncture potential yet incorporating countryside in the city and a hill climb through the darkness of Hampstead Heath.
Start somewhere on East Heath Road, possibly Vale of Heath, descending down to where it becomes S End Road.
Take a left onto the cycle path through the Heath, which wends its way between a couple of ponds before going left, round and upwards steadily but not steeply, across Lime Avenue, across the bridge, round past the loos and upwards to a finish line within the park but just below the B519 which is Spaniards Road where you get a view between the trees across the city.
