So much time is eaten up waiting for the Met at the end!

Well done Andrew on getting a completion, even if it was not one of your better times. If someone could let me know if there were any other completions yesterday, I will add them all to the top times list.

Sadly, I was the only one to complete. My teammates all abandoned me at Watford, and I believe Moley ran out of trains and ways to get home :(

I could have completed and would gave been on the last train into Chesham. Having had a hell of a week where I ended up driving cross country at short notice on Wednesday, I chose not to complete.

I had a couple of stinking changes which couldn't even be offset by a mid afternoon Olympia service.

Indeed Nozza, Nozza Jnr and GU could easily have completed but would have meant 2345 out of Amersham, bus from HOTH to Heathrow another bus to Hatton X and getting back at silly-o-clock....

As we had another early start on Sat with parkrun and R15 we headed back and did 20 stations and walked to the car in the time that Andrew polished off the last 5 :!:

I think the 20th November is more likely, that is when it was held in 2009.
