Re: world record attempt
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.

Re: world record attempt
I think i will just get my brother to send an application because he is 17 and will be coming with me on the day
Re: world record attempt
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!

does anyone know whether it would be to late to send in an application to Guinness 2 days before we do the challenge
Re: world record attempt
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!.

Re: world record attempt
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
