Attempt planned (a.k.a. Dire straits)
I and Lars are coming to town again Sep 25th-27th for another attempt at the GWR (Tue 26th). Go to http://www.purpletube.com/?m=200603 (scroll to March 22) to read about our last attempt.
This time we have a new significantly improved route planned! Still Amersham-Heathrow. But some assistance is needed:
Priority 1: We need a stop watch operator!
Priority 2: We could use some external support during the day!
Optional: A third (full) member with lot's of tactical Tube knowledge (exits, overpasses, platforms etc) and a willingness to approach independent witnesses. Some light running and brisk walking, but not a lot of sprinting needed.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Please PM me if you're interested.

*** UPDATE ***
We're still short on stop watch operator at the start - the end is covered by "Going Underground".
Also, don't hesitate to get in touch if you want to spend a smaller or larger part of the 26th with us, just supporting!

I suppose you don't have lunch at around 05:48 then...Root wrote:I can't come out and help you, but if you happen to be in Chesham around lunchtime, give me a ring and I'll bring food .
Most things are now in place for our Tuesday attempt! I and Lars will form an all Swedish two man team. We have support arranged during the middle portion of the day (including a lunch service) by Joy54. We have an independent stop watch operator enrolled for both ends. We may enjoy the company by Going Underground for the last couple of hours of the attempt. A couple of other less specific visits during the day have also been announced!
But there is still room for additional support - just PM me before Monday morning if you are interested in helping out!
