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:

...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!

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...
