Re: Attemp Thurs 5th May
Now I'm back home after suffering a 10 hour coach journey. Yesterday was the best full network I've completed & was the first I've completed in the last four attemptes.
The day started well with a Southbound district line train sat in the platform At Upminster as I arrived on the c2c from barking.
0545 and a few seconds doors close and we are off Log, photo, log, Photo, log etc I had forgotten how much work was involved when you are on your own. Antway an uneventful trip into zone 1 and after several changes it was off towards epping & woodford. Used the few spare mins at Woodford to visit the lovely Brazilian Lass & stock up on food, the first dissapointment of the day sorry Andi she has become a man. This was soon followed by elation when having completed the east end of the central line and heading north to here that the central was suspended between leytonstone & marble arch. Went north clearing Amersham, Edgware, High Barnet & Cockfosters not necessarily in that order. A lack of busses at high barnet forced me to take a bus to new barnet station & ran from there It nearly killed me as it is mainly up hill but was worth every bit of the pain when i managed to catch an earlier train out. then went south via olympia & the late Lorol service. but still cought the south merton train for the nice run to morden. Wimbledon to mordern 14 mins.
Still being on for a good time I arrived at Ealing broadway on the back of the evening rush nervous as several challenges ago a great time went south at this very station at a similar time of day. But no worries with 2 mins of arriving was on my way again. back to wards central for the final push around central before the last major change at hammersmith. Got accross from the H&C to the picc to see the doors close on a train going to T4 with a T5 train just 2 mins behind decided to do heathrow in reverse. so finishing at Heatrow T4 17hours 6mins & 51 sec after leaving Upminster.
Question how long Has the Autoloo been there on the run between West ruislip & Ickenham just before the park we cut through .
Sorry not much detail about the route but with some key changes this route can go quicker & possibly close to the record.
Roll on september when I give it another go

I expect the council got tired of all these tube challengers over the years flipping out their tackle and relieving themselves.mullardo wrote:Not sure, but it is on google maps so I would say a whilenozzacook wrote:Question how long Has the Autoloo been there on the run between West ruislip & Ickenham just before the park we cut through .
