I think they will accept 16-year-olds as part of a group that contains at least one adult. Also, Bob Robinson did the record when Guinness didn't have such stupid rules.

that is strange as a person I do know whom is under that age of 16 was approved for the attempt! I presume that this is a totally new route from the very first attempt then because of the fact 18h 35m first time?.

I have now a total of 37 routes to work from my years of tube challenging its strange how some routes come back into play due to timetabling changes!

i guess you have a claim number? if that so then the claim can be sorted after your actual attempt! but honestly if u think everything is going to plan on the day i think ur going to be in for a bit of a culture shock!

only once on labyrinth day funnily enough did everything work to a sort of norm.

i notice from your research ickenham to west ruislip 6 mins well that is ok but imagine getting out of uxbridge a minute later than u have planned that becomes 5! now i know a lot of people would baulk at 5 mins for that run!.

It's a tough run in 5mins that equates to 4:37/km barrier to barrier still need to allow time for the steps at both stations.
And in that direction you have an uphill run
