I don't wish to be blurred, I was just going to suggest it was filmed if you didn't plan to. :)

Just in time for the Random 15 challenge on Saturday I have been busy recently collating all the Random 15 challenges attempted (and with what variant) to put up on my Top Times website.

We have done (collectively) 179 individual attempts at this challenge, of which the top 50 is now ready to view at http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... ndom15.htm

As I say this is just the top 50 for the moment, I am working on the other 129 and will up online in a few days. Now you can see who is at the topp of the leaderboard and what your top position is compared to others...

I'm seeing my uncle in Mitcham tomorrow. Depending on time constraints, I may drop by to see you all off at 12:30.

Sub BERC here, final arrangements for tomorrow are as follows:

Starting: Meet up by 1225 for 1230 start at Edgware Road (Bakerloo) due to the station being quite compact I suggest we initially meet up under the motorway bridge. The stopwatch will be started soon as the lift doors close as we descend.

The variation: This is a "twist" round with two sets of stations, 10 in list 1 and 5 in list 2. You must visit all 10 stations in list 1 before moving onto list 2. You do not have to alight at your 10th station but can open list 2 soon as the train doors open at your 10th station. There is an increased time limit for this challenge of FIVE hours.

Post challenge: The post challenge meet up place will be a new venue (thanks to Kevin for finding it), the Bricklayers Arms in Gresse Street (just off TCR) which is another Sam Smith' pub hidden down a side street! Please hand in your time, route and finishing station to myself.

Here is Google maps link if anyone has trouble finding the new venue: https://www.google.co.uk/maps?q=Gresse+ ... ngdom&z=18

Can we make an attendance register please.
