We will be dressed up as Batman and Robin but I have never done this challenge before and I am not too confident about the route I have around London tube stations. We are doing this challenge on the 15th March and was wondering could it be possible if myself and my fellow employee join your group on this day because it's nothing worse than getting lost in London.
Cheers
You're more than welcome to join us. We're starting in Richmond and finishing at Heathrow.
As The Raven said you are most welcome to come around with us...
If so we will be starting on the 0552 Overground service.....
Just to let you know there will be just under 50 interchanges and around 8 or 9 out of station runs ranging from 200 - 1200 metres approx....
This is not a GWR attempt but we will be trying our best and moving as quickly as possible to see if we can squeeze all 270 in...

Now look at this do you have to have a group of 10 what would happen if our tickets were inspected ant there were only 6 or 7 of us ??
"Zones 1-9 £6.50 each
For groups of 10 or more fare-paying passengers travelling together on the Tube, DLR, or London Overground.
Provides unlimited travel at any time and on any day within the zones paid for"
What if we said that some of the group got left behind?
I bought group tickets for a group of 6/7 before a few years back and the woman knew we weren't a group of ten but she sold me the tickets anyway. Just an idea..
The person selling the tickets won't be bothered about whether you're a true group or not, the revenue inspector you could come across however, probably would... so on your head be it if you buy group tickets knowing full well you're not a group!!
Sam, how can that be right? Surely it can't work out as more expensive for a group of seven than for a group of ten?
The rules with a group ticket mean you have to stay as a group of ten. Ticket inspectors don't care about cost, they just make sure the rules are being abided to which they wouldn't be if there was only seven people with a group ticket.
Long range weather forecast looking good for those of us in warm costumes, around 9-10 degrees

OK just under 24 hours to go until this one, hope we are all ready to go
The route includes a run Baker Street Marylebone, I have only done this once and not really sure of the way... Is any of our team familiar with this run?
