Random 15 Championship 2018/19: Round 1
Posted: 22 Aug 2018, 08:36
Avast me hearties, with a month to go time to hoist the mainsail and get this vessel this back onto the choppy waters...SQUAWK!
Hello and welcome to the 2018/19 Random 15 Championship. I am your host (commonly known to regulars as the BERC when I am hosting Random 15 challenges). The Random 15 Challenge is just that, visit 15 randomly selected stations that feature on the Tube Map and/or London Connections Map (usually within zones 1-2 and using the Underground network only). There will be certain rounds within the championship that are a variation of this such as adding an extra zone/s or network/s e.g. DLR, National Rail onto the challenge and these are known as "twist" rounds.
The rules of the Random 15 Challenge are unchanged from last season but if anyone is not familiar with these (or how the scoring works), they can be read here: http://www.explorerticket.co.uk/tubecha ... 5rules.htm
A new season beckons, so we all start afresh. All league table points are reset to zero.
Normally, round 1 is the Champion's Twist, however due to the annual Cannon Street Run (Talk Like a Pirate Day) being a Random 15 this year and to avoid having two Random 15s within days of each other, we have decided that this random 15 will combine the two events. Therefore the Champion's Twist will be deferred to round 2.
When: Saturday 22nd September 2018 12:30 UK local time.
Pre-Challenge meet up point: Cannon Street (of course)
Post challenge meet up point: The Bricklayers Arms pub, Gresse Street (off TCR, the road).
Variant: Normal round. 15 London Underground stations within zones 1 and 2 only.
Time limit for completing: Normal round, 4 hour time limit.
Closures affecting the challenge:
--Currently there is NO scheduled engineering work planned on any TfL rail mode of transport.
Other engineering work that may affect you:
--West Anglia: No trains via Tottenham Hale (diversions via Seven Sisters).
--South Eastern: No trains via Bexleyheath, reduced service London Bridge- Lewisham.
All welcome, Please advise me if you are attending. Thank you.
