Yep team Brown had this idea and a cracking route inside GWR at the timw and explained to them that we would have visited all the stations BUT they say NO!!

Much congratulations to all, particularly in such chilly conditions. I was cold enough attempting in September! Definitely making me want to plan my 2nd/3rd attempt, albeit it in warmer conditions!

I need one of those in my route - working forwards from an optimal start and backwards from an optimal finish, I find I''ve got a 51 minute overlap! :-(
