Hare – Crap Nav
This week’s run will be from The Bread and Roses, 68 Clapham Manor Street, SW4 6DZ Map Link. This is a vibrant, independent pub in the heart of Clapham (according to its website). The nearest stations are Clapham Common (Northern Line) and Clapham High Street (overground, with connections to Clapham Junction).
There won’t be a p-trail, as the pub is easy to find, and in any case the high footfall around Clapham Common station means it would probably get quickly obliterated. (We hope that the trail arrows won’t suffer a similar fate!)
The pub already has a function booked for the back room, but we can use the front area and the stage. The run will start from the pub at our usual time of 19.15 hours and bags can be left on the stage itself, but this is not secure. If anyone wants to sit out the run, perhaps they can volunteer to keep an eye on the bags.
There won’t be a drink stop – too cold! – but the hare says there are plenty of pubs en route ‘if people need a boost’!
