Tube Olympics - Event 6 - Full Network - Thursday 26th July

Post by Soup Dragon »

This event is open, you can start when & where you like and finish at any station.
The only rules which apply are the standard GWR rules.
Perhaps to make the event entertaining to viewers at home we could ask teams to send updates every couple of hours.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be welcome.

Defending Olympic Champion(s): Andi James & Steve Ilham in 17:12:43
