Anyone up for a London Poly meet, somewhere between the 3rd and the 9th of August?

Well, for longest city walk I'd like to throw in my Istanbul stroll: After a visit to the Topkapi Palace, I walked from the entrance to the Palace near the Aya Sofia along the palace walls and via Sirkeci Train Station to the Egyptian Bazaar and Galata Bridge, and from there via the Galata Tower to Taksim Square, and then back again via Galata Tower and Bridge to the Suleymaniye Mosque and over the Istanbul University Campus to the Valens Aquaduct, from where I went via the Grand Bazaar to the Hippodrome and where I had diner in a little restaurant a few hundred meters behind the Blue Mosque. Took about 6 hours (9 if you include the visit to the Topkapi Palace, which is a small city in itself -- makes Versailles look like a summer cottage). Saw quite a bit of the city that day (which has some very steep hills)...

Furthest ive walked (err run most of it) in London is 26.2miles (twice), aka The London Marathon, recommend it if you want to see the sights. Starts in a big of a $h.t hole 'Greenwich' (yanks thats where we get our time from) - and meanders over around, over Tower Bridge, then round Docklands, etc etc - Finishes outside Buck House.

I'd quite like Chandos. Or the one in Canary Wharf... equally inaccessible for everyone!Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!
