Our New challenge attempt

Post by samgunner »

Just wanted to say but me and my friends are now attempting to actually get around the tube! This time with an actual plan! Been training up and researching it for about 4 months now, still fine tweaking it! But we are also film making along with it.

Just an invite really as we are trying to get it out there, if you want to watch our videos on it please feel free to go here http://www.limepro.co.uk/underground

Let me know if you enjoy them or If I got anything wrong and yeah :) Just hope you might like it, if it's not your cup of tea, sorry and let me know what I can do better :)

It is definitely hard! We have a plan that we actually make it! We have 2 plans, a tight one and a lax one, that way we will complete it no matter what! I hope the website has done our attempt justice and I hope the videos I and my friends are making aren't boring! But we are always open to suggestions and I hope your enjoying them if you are choosing to follow them! Who knows one day we might get under 17 hours! Making it is first on the list though! aha!

- Get your carriages right
- Make sure the most difficult stuff is the stuff you're doing early on (something will break near the end of the day, it always does, and you have to hope it's something you've already done).
- Don't start anywhere in Zones 1, 2 or 3 (unless it's 0550 Kensington Olympia, there's a case for that).
- Have a recon day to check the runs. Doing alternative challenges may also help (but that's just me - I've never done any of the challenges but I've done all the major runs).

Good luck, and remember you should be finishing somewhere in Buckinghamshire.
