Todays attempt has been abandoned :(

The Met was a bit rubbish this morning, and i couldn't make up the lost time as I did on tuesday, so after ending up 25 down decided to regroup and plan some contingencies for tomorrow!

There's an outside chance I may come down to say hello at the start, but I doubt it I'm afraid.

You may be interested to know that I wasn't the only tube challenger at Chesham this morning :shock:

No further correspondance on this subject will be entertained :wink:

P.S. freestyling today as a scenario i hadn't planned for occurred. I think i'm about 10 mins down.
