I was wondering if this is more than coincidence - London is based around the Thames, by definition in a valley, so the hills would on the whole be away from the centre?

Re: The Raven Alternative Challenge ideas
This has certainly been discussed. Of course, this now includes a trip to and/or from Reading.

And London Biggin Hill. And "London" "Ashford" (Lydd).
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

Re: The Raven Alternative Challenge ideas
Battersea Park has to be visited on the Overground challenge, but isn't on the Tube map. Should it be visited on the Full Tube Map Challenge?

Re: The Raven Alternative Challenge ideas
And presumably, if it does, it's the only really awkward station as Olympia becomes a doddle with the overground?
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

Absolutely - and it's rather a long way from Ashford, let alone London! But, they call it London Ashford, so who am I to disagree.

Disappointingly they don't include transport options involving the RHDR, such as a cross country hike from Romney Sands!

Re: The Raven Alternative Challenge ideas
Has anyone thought of doing the "Ton" challenge. Fastest time to do 100 different stations in the shortest time possible?
