Tube Challenge attempt
Evening,
Myself and Martin Hazel (tangy) will be attempting the full 275 record on Wednesday 11th July.
We would be very grateful if anyone on this forum could volunteer to offer some help during the day, either starting/stopping of a stopwatch or back up support during the day.
It is my sixth attempt at getting around all the stations, but only my second at a world record. I would like to announce to those who are aware of what happened in my last world record attempt that I shall be contacting Hakan before the attempt to verify that he is happy with our plans.
Regards,
Jonny & Martin

OK.
Seeing as that induced more speculation than I was hoping.
I do know Hakan's route, and Hakan is aware of this. I am, however, NOT planning on using it, and I will be checking with him that he is happy that the route we are taking is not his so as to avoid any contemplation of 'cheating'.
Thanks to those that have offered help, I shall keep in touch.

It's the tubechallenge code of honour really, as discsussed previously nobody actually owns a route but it would be seen as unsporting to use someone elses route for your own GWR gain..petermiller36 wrote:...then surely you don't need his permission?! tubeguru... i'd like to go and play football later, am i allowed to cross the road on my own?jonny wrote: I am, however, NOT planning on using it,
Part of the satisfaction is coming up with your own route and reseaching etc....
Anyway this isn't the case here by the looks of it.....
