Still on, the only thing that may out me off is heavy rain, the Old 5D cannot take too much of the wet stuff. Other than that, snow, wind or sunshine I should be there. Early start though, so I wont be there until 08:30ish. Might have to take someones mobile in case I get delayed, at least I can find you if you all set off early.

Plastic bags - available at most good supermarkets for free!

BBC reckons sunny but cold for Saturday - and importantly, no rain predictions for the next 5 days.

I might have to buy some of those handwarmer things and a flask, though.

I am picking up gloda at 7:35 at Victoria, so we should be there at eight-ish. Does anyone want to compile and circulate a list of mobile phone numbers?

We need to decide on is one of the car parks, don't we? There's 7 car parks. Is there some area which would be of immediate interest to us, e.g. somewhere the deers like to be?
If not, the North car park near Richmond Gate is close to the bus stops.

//www.royalparks.gov.uk/docs/park_maps/richmond_park.pdf

Wouldn't the North-most gate be the Roehampton gate?

The website says that cafe near that gate is "open daily", so I presume that this means all year round.

So, Roehampton gate, anyone?

Sad to say I have moved from "possible" to "cannot make it". Which is a shame but life is intriguing these days...

@Mr Pants: Uups, I never noticed their map didn't point North. So you're right, the Richmond Gate is in the West, but nonetheless it remains the one closest to the bus stops. I think we should stick with that one.

I can compile a list of mobile numbers. Just PM me, I'll forward them once finished.

That would be the car park slap-bang between Pembroke Lodge and Oak Lodge on the map?

Exactly.

I didn't get any more phone numbers, so I won't send out another list.
