Re: First run of the Posh Challenge
This is 2 weeks tomorrow! I'd like to bump this up again to remind people about it, to let people either confirm attendance, to say they wish they could have come (but can't make it), or even say "I don't care about your stupid challenge!".
If you are planning to attend, have you been thinking about or planning a route? Are you going to play it safe or go for some risks? Will you have an opportunity to do any research beforehand?
As far as I am aware the current list of attendees is:
tractakid
Going Underground
Rhys1995

...and I will be on a proper train. An HST to be precise, doing a railtour of freight lines in the East Midlands.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: First run of the Posh Challenge
No proper trains for me, or non-proper ones for that matter. I'll be at work, relying on Shanks's pony for my transport...

Re: First run of the Posh Challenge
Your 5 hrs is about right Andrew, just bodged a route through and came out at 4hrs 57mins
Anyway looking forward to this one, throws up some unusual scenarios
Anyone going to reveal their starting station or would that be giving too much away

Re: First run of the Posh Challenge
