31st July - DLR 20th Anniversary Challenge
The DLR was officially opened by H.M. the Queen on 31st July 1987.
In order to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the DLR there will be a challenge organised on Tuesday 31st July 2007.
The meeting point will be Poplar Station at 18:30, from here you can decide upon whichever DLR station you wish to start from, but you must start between 19:00 and 19:30. Once you have completed the challenge we will all meet up at the Captain Kidd in Wapping (unless anyone has a better suggestion) to see who set the fastest time.
Please eMail, PM me or reply here if you wish to take part.

The only one that looks possible is Gallions Reach to King George V, it's only 1.5km and looking at some routes last night you would need to do it in about 7 minutes!tpfkar wrote:I was going to have another go at this the other week - I came up with a route that I thought could take several minutes off the record, but it does rely on a monster run halfway round....I think it's a Starkey special. I'm afraid I'm away for this one but I hope it goes well for everyone.
