Christmas Park Challenge 2012 - Wimbledon Park 31st December
Wimbledon Park - 1100hrs start it is then
Just a quick re-cap then you have to visit all the "Park stations" by tube train (Or shared rails) and take an external photo as well
The watch starts when you take your 1st photo outside Wimbledon Park and stops when you take your final photo at your finishing Park Station
The link to the map that we used to use on Soup Dragons website no longer works and it is all the stations ending in Park and Hyde Park Corner & Park Royal
Probable meet up after H & G @ GPS unless they have an all ticket New Years bash on....
If anything is not clear please shout!

Re: Christmas Park Challenge 2012
After randomly catching the Tube Challenge attempt on Absolute Radio thought I'd check in and see what was going on over here.
Looks like I've just missed an R15 but always enjoyed past Xmas Park Challenges. Would NYE work, looks like no engineering works then but would have to head off from the pub relatively early.

Do we have to catch the first train after 11:00 or can we leave later?

I think in the past you could choose when to start your watch. So you could start 10 seconds after someone else but you run the risk of not having enough time to take the photo and get down to the platform before the train leaves.
