I can't be there for the whole day but I've got your (expected) route and will hopefully catch up with you somewhere around 10:30 for a couple of hours. Will try to get hold of someone to find out where you are and take appropriate coffee / bacon / beer orders.

I will be coming along too, thankfully had a quiet few days at work to allow me to take this day off (as my fellow colleagues beat me to it)

17:42:22 Garion Allen, Martin Hazel, Andrew Chilcraft
17:42:22 Nick Gardner

We all started as a group but Nick ended up doing the vast majority of the day independently (Support from Andi) due to missing a doubleback. (going on to do the station missed later on). We finally met up again (no pun intended) on the train to Watford.

More report I'm sure will follow but it's been two days with no times posted!

Thank you to everyone, and especially Andi, for helping me complete my first FNC. It was FAB!

As tractakid said, I got separated from the rest of the group. This was for a Rayner's Lane to West Harrow double back. Hence, near the end of the day, I took a train from Northwick Park to West Harrow then ran to North Harrow where, as if by fate, I caught the train that everyone else was on.

Will try and write a bit more later.

Well done. I look forward to hearing more later. The top times page has been updated.
