So the forecast must be quite severe for this warning to be in place. Clearly parkrun doesn't have much to do with BA (yes, mods, I know the rules (!)), but the proximity of the location to LHR is more significant!

If I had a choice, I'd be adding contingency into any tight connections.

That might be Bedfont Lakes, as I don't recall many mature trees at Stockley Park! Now if we really want to drag it off-topic, my Parkrun PB is at Bedfont (and will forever remain there, no doubt!).

Back in the real BA world, I'm due on a SH flight to Germany at 9am tomorrow morning - no cancellation yet, but this will probably jinx it .
