No Rush but a confirmed number of people for a group photo in advance would be nice :)

Well, time is getting on.

I'll be honest: I've heard that in previous years you did CiN all as one big group. I must admit, I'd prefer one big group rather than individual teams - I think it makes it more fun this way - particularly somebody like me who has never attempted the FNC before. (Still aim for the GWR though). What are people planning on this front? Failing that, I was hoping (not certain yet of doing it - I must admit I haven't thought at all about raising money for CiN or accommodation although I've got a possible route) to be in a team with at least one person who's well experienced in the FNC - anybody experienced who's accepting team mates?

Put me down as a provisional for now, until I know I can get the day off.

Unlike October 7th, when a training course got in the way...

Yep, Saturday has been booked off so I can actually do the challenge rather than support.

Woo.

Okay, I hope I'm not stepping out of line here, but - due to work reasons mostly - I've set up a JustGiving page for this. www.justgiving.com/cin-tube. I may have also suggested that during the day the different people might update twitter using the #cin-tube hashtag with updates and stuff...
