My vote is to start on the first train out of Shoeburyness and go round as a big group or two rival groups and see if we can get to Aylesbury before the pubs close! The route I've done finishes in Aylesbury at 20:53.

It is a bit of a hike from the Met to the Junction. Bus W30 links the two together every 30 minutes (I believe).

Taking Andi's suggestion a step (or several) further, you could try and get as many former (and the current) record holders to take part and compete against each other, but they must also have a non-record holder with them. With everyone starting on the same train out of Shoeburyness it should be quite good banter to start with for the first 45 mins to an hour.

I've probably been thinking that over a bit too much though...

16hour 13min estimated route. Aylesbury start, Shoeburyness finish.

I'm getting faster! But, I'm sure a certain someone could do a much faster route

Anyone fancy doing it in 1930s (or perhaps even 1860s) style clothes ?

I'm so up for that!



Perhaps without the gun though!

Indeed I have done this transfer from Watford Met- Junction. At the time I was coming back from a tube challenge (in teh evening). It only took 15-20 minutes to do it and I wasn't doing it full pelt either (just a light run).

40 minutes Myles?! What way do you go?!

[palkanetoijala31]

I prefer the shoeburyness idea of a start more pratical for a night out beforehand but the aylesbury start also has its benefits me thinks.

While in London on Saturday I went on the search for Aldwych station and timed how long it takes from Temple. It takes 2min 30sec to walk from the Surrey Street entrance at Aldwych to the platforms at Temple. Mind you, it's a fair slope from the Thames to The Strand

[palkanetoijala31]

Is there a subway on route myles will make it 1min.

[Steeevooo]

Having made that walk many times during my uni days, I can confirm that there is no subway on route... however there is a cabbies snack hut on the way (assuming that it's still open!)

Anyone been back to Shoreditch since it closed?
