not yet ordered the official T shirt & collecting donations the old fashioned way. Have had a few people dissappointed that its not for a World record. Hope this does not effect peoples willingness to give.

Had an intimate sesh with the JP and I got a rough time of 19 hours 10 Minutes. However I think the route has changed slightly and only had Andi's estimates on the runs/walks timings.

Hi peeps!

Just joined the site although I've been reading through the tube challenge stuff avidly for the last few. I've used the tube pretty much all my life and decided as a bit of a bucket list thing to visit every station. Then I start researching it and I find out all this stuff which I've found decidedly fascinating about records, secretive routes etc.

Anyway, I'm not up to making a record attempt yet (I think that'll need a serious amount of research), but if you're open to a newbie I'd love to join you guys for the CiN event on the 18th...if that's cromulent(!!). Anyway, a couple of questions:

1) I am a runner having done several London marathons but I'm rather lacking in recent training - how full on is the running going to be next Friday?

2) Anything I need to do beforehand - just been looking at tickets and I'm guessing just buy a zone 1-9 travelcard the day before? Plus bring along a rucksack with some drinks and snacks, and then turn up at High Barnet bright and early (or early at least) next week.

Anyway, look forward to chatting more on here and meeting some of you in person :)
