James, I'm not surprised that you are keen to see DLR 21 go ahead next year. I guess you will be hoping to add to the two certificates that you managed to win at DLR 20? :wink:

I do hope that you got those certificates framed, they are almost as rare as Guinness certificates :)
One day I shall return!

i can't wait for DLRC II already. was my favourite challenge so far, what with the stunning views over the docklands and the lovely summery weather.

just wondering whether the network will be the same when it comes round to next july. are they actually working on the Woolwich Arsenal extension? i know we should definitely have Langdon Park then as well, which is bound to add a whole 30 seconds on! :P

So, are we going to do a 30th anniversary DLR challenge, on the day it opened to the fare paying public (August 31st)?

Sounds tempting but I will be doing the DLR on 12th August as part of the "Triple Crown"

I am in London that day, however it is with family and I will be suited and booted (although I'm sure that hasn't stopped people in the past :lol: )

I remember doing a Zone 1 event (or was it a Bottle?) whilst fully suited and booted and also carrying a rucksack fully laden with accounting textbooks :lol: Needless to say I wasn't making connections as swiftly as I would have liked!
