Re: Birthday Challenge V2
I shall be there. I'm starting on the 12:44 from Wembley Stadium. I have a rough route, but I'm basically going to wing it.
Is the post-event meet up confirmed as The Champion? Where is that exactly?

Re: Birthday Challenge V2
What time are people expecting to finish in?
I can't attend the challenge but If its likely to be a finish around 6pm I might pop down after work for a pint and some darts.

Re: Birthday Challenge V2
Challenge appears to take around 5 hours. Given most people are probably finishing at Acton Main Line, Ealing Broadway or Wembley Stadium, likely between 4:30 and 6:30, people should arrive at the pub between 5 and 7:30.

Re: Birthday Challenge V2
That seems about right. With my later start I'm definitely worried that I'll have to battle commuters for the last few trains.

The problem with weekdays. It's all about the Saturday challenges...

Re: Birthday Challenge V2
Yes, that is a snag of Saturday challenging. But for all else bar the FNC, find a Saturday without engineering works and the network is your best friend.

Re: Birthday Challenge V2
My route for this would have been
Wembley Stadium Marylebone Baker Street Swiss Cottage (run to) South Hampstead Euston King's Cross Finsbury Park Moorgate Liverpool Street Stratford Mile End Whitechapel Hoxton Shadwell Limehouse Fenchurch Street (run to) Aldgate St Pancras Elephant & Castle London Bridge Cannon Street Embankment (run to) Charing Cross Waterloo East Waterloo Queenstown Road (Battersea) (run to) Battersea Park Victoria Oxford Circus Paddington Ealing Broadway (or Acton Mainline)
Starting on the 1210 from Wembley Stadium, and hopefully finishing on the 1633 from Paddington.
