Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Cheers Tom, we would normally send you ahead of us with a couple of the slower ones rucksacks (yep that's me) while we do the runs.Edgemaster wrote:I'm available from 12.30, (being a full network n00b), what does the help involve?
Also getting trains numbers and other information that we may have missed and possibly drinks / food. Any input on the day is welcome, sometimes different ideas get thrown into the hat if you have to change route.
I have supported many a time and did so before I attempted a full network and I quite enjoy it....
I recall the Browns / Starkey / Rachel Brabbins from BBC 3CR attempt, the leggy blonde was brodcasting live and half the forum were out supporting us by the end of the day

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Seeing as half the forum's out It'd be nice to come and say hello!
If you start at T4, I might be able to pop over and see you guys off! and come out for the first hour,
If not let me know where your looking to finish and I'll try and meet you at the end!

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
So looks like Andi, Starkey, Nozza, Al and Kev then...
Weather forecast looks excellent
Not sure if Andi has copied you all in on the possible routes and also how is everyone fixed logistics wise for getting to whatever start / back from the finish?
