Evidence Requirements
Posted: 17 Jan 2021, 21:25
I was thinking about attempting the Tube Challenge, and I was wondering how much evidence would be required to have my attempt recognised by members of the forum.
Eleven lines - one record

hence above comment its amazing after all these years the name ******** is still blankedNigel wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 08:18 I still try to maintain the list of top times for the FNC. Very occasionally, if I think someone's account of a completion doesn't add up (e.g how was Olympia done?), I may send them a PM for an explanation before adding them to the list. Provided the account is credible, we have to rely on people's honesty.
To be honest, there aren't many regular users of the forum who know who ******** is now, so even unblocking it would leave people none the wiser as to who you're talking about.Golf wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 09:43hence above comment its amazing after all these years the name ******** is still blankedNigel wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 08:18 I still try to maintain the list of top times for the FNC.

Did you wear anything that showed you were doing it for charity. I'm not intending to go all out on a charity outfit just a badge on my shirt/coat
We got some great Pudsey CiN tube t-shairts printed but I lack the IT skills to post a photo for youjrparkin wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 14:47Did you wear anything that showed you were doing it for charity. I'm not intending to go all out on a charity outfit just a badge on my shirt/coat
We did take money if offered on our may CiN attempts - but in the main if people expressed an interest we hand out "flyers" with the link to our just giving page
Yes you now have to video whole attempt, photograph every station, keep a full log and get witness statements at least 1 per hour. And also have a person independent of the attempt to start/stop the master stopwatch which they are meant to look after for the duration of the attempt. This now makes solo attempts at the record almost impossible.ANDY_JS wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 02:07 The problem is most people would struggle to find someone willing to be an independent adjudicator to stand on the platform at Amersham, Heathrow, Upminster or Morden at 4:45 in the morning, which is apparently what you have to do to fulfil the official rules.
Also, are you supposed to film the whole thing these days, instead of just take a few photographs? You'd have to have a camera fixed on your shirt for 16 hours. Wouldn't the batteries run out?
