I am the routemaster for tomorrow. As setting a route is a first for me, and we have a number of causes for celebration, tomorrow’s (somewhat tenuous) theme is firsts and celebrations! Apologies for all the recent achievements not reflected in the route…
There are links to the routes and instructions below.
I’ll also bring printouts with me.
