Yes I did, as per this rather interesting page from my website....

Well, I think "Moi" means "Hello" or something like that.
And yes, given that you know the first three, you can safely guess the rest
As the original person who wrote this i must first apologise for the following things
1. my caps button was stuck therefore not my fault
2. my grasp of the english language in written form is not perfect re: i thought was read this.
3. use of the word HATE the finns have a natural rivalry with the swedes apologies hakan no mean to offend and its about the same as the english have a rivalry with the germans or the french so it was strange to read what a fuss that caused
4. was not intending to nick anybody else route or ideas my friend who is english has a good route of 18h 23 mins (it took me months to work it out for him) and no this isnt the same route as hakan we intend to end up in a different place if everything was perfect as if on the london underground
speaking on a personal note my friend wanted somebody else along he isnt good at maths and times of interchanges and what happens if delays on certain parts etc etc i just want to finish in a day thats all i care about and his help in john o groats to lands end cycling next year
and for those who answered in finnish its 1 to 10 they were counting
and yes nobody knows me i live in tampere finland but have been in london many times my friend comes from burnley lancs but came from bournemouth where my parents now live

I live in Clitheroe, Lancashire, about 10 miles from Burnley. I am happy to give some general advice to him if you want: although it is almost two years since I did any serious Tube Challenges so I will be a bit rusty.
We can have a chat over a couple of pints of Moorhouses if you want. Let me know
I think it comes down to the fact the tube system is just taken for granted by 99.9% of the UK citizens that use it..........
Most Londoner's couldn't give a stuff about the tube or appreciate what a brilliant transport system it is and also a superb feat of engineering....
If you take my office of 12 people, the only person that shows any interest in the tube system and tube challenge is Aussie Sarah....
The Brits here just moan about it and only use it as a last resort.....
