The Great British Beer Festival is between August 12th and August 15th this year, so that's when it would be.
All London buses: 23 hours 25 minutes (with Adham, David, Josh and Tangy)
Holds some alternative challenge records. Not sure which ones.
20½ Random 15 challenges: 01:58:48 best

It is a good job that the Beer festival is that week, as according to the advance works calendar there is no service Ruislip to Uxbridge for the preceding three weeks.

In August Piccadilly line will still not be stopping at Gloucester Road, Bakerloo & Northern are still missing Embankment, but the Bond Street closure will have switched to the Jubilee line.

I'm not sure myself about doing a full network this year - I'm getting too old. I think I may save myself until the Croxley link opens and the record is reset, or I get my Freedom Pass, which may happen about the same time.

I wish I'd have thought about it earlier. I only recently remembered about last year's event, and that people may be interested in another one this year.

You might have to put me out of my misery - FART could stand for anything really
