Ever done the challenge without a route planned beforehand?

Anyone ever done the challenge without a route planned beforehand? Has anyone ever just decided only on their start point and just hopped on first available connections, etc?

Surely you'd have some rough idea of where you were going. You wouldn't just arrive at an interchange and think, "Oh, I'll just change here for Ealing Broadway".

i have just turned up at station and thought i see how it goes but i had a rough idea what i was doing but no firm route.

The first (and so far only) time I did a challenge, the circumstances to enable me to do so only came together at the very last minute and I had no time for proper planning. I did have a prepared rooute, but it was T4 - Chesham and circumstances dictated I did Edgware - Stanmore. I therefore used the former route and ad-libbed the join between the two ends of it.

This was very much not a serious challenge, but a rare chance to play around on Tubes for a bit.

I have never followed my planned route in all 20 full network attempts

Would of on the last one if the Richmond branch hadn't gone down first thing!

Not quite, as we changed things around on the Upminster stretch and in Central London in the evening if you recall

Andytube, I could tell you a tale of my first tube challenge, and indeed I could tell the rest of the world if they wanted to know... That was a strange challenge that I essentially did almost without a route planned!

You've never done The Challenge.

he just did he was above you in the post!

[tubeguru]

That could be Andi's funniest post in ever.

[tractakid]

Don't talk down to me.

Am I not correct?

[Rhys1995]

Actually you are not correct. To be honest its none of your business whatsoever so just leave it at that.

I'd be interested to hear about the day where you tried your very best to visit all 270 tube stations in a day. Most people share their story, but you appear to have been completely silent. What was it that caused you to fail? Did the central line flood? That caused me to fail before.
