Good luck and remember to keep drinking the water, it's going to be a hot one!

I will be tweeting to @tubeolympics which is the twitter account set up by Rhys (Hopeful Traveller).
Also Rhys who is acting as a roving reporter will be attempting to hook up with teams throughout the day

Good luck to all the competitors tomorrow - you're all totally mad trying the challenge in this heat
Also, good luck to the support people who will spend most of the day carrying several litres of water!

I am coming to this event too, I am starting at Heathrow T4.
I tried texting you Andi a couple of times (both via mobile and on Twitter) but got no repsonse. Have you got a new number that I don't about?
In light of the above, I have planned a route (or two) but have no timings for it at all, never run it through the WTTS (except for the first bit to connect with a KO train).
For anyone who is ending at the NW corner my car is parked at Chalfont for an easy way home.

As you're not taking part, you ARE apart from it.
In other news, they managed to choose the hottest day of the year for it. Bleurgh.

Might have been in London, but it feels hotter in Plymouth today. It's still hot for them, whichever day they chose this week.

Twitter appears to be down... Oh no!
Quick update: a little down on schedule out east, but still looking good for a completion. A quick change of socks and a liberal spray of Brut on the way back into town and I'm feeling like a new man!
196/270 at Aldgate East after 12h40 (projected)

hmm. I've watched the football, visited Tubeforum, played some games on my phone, eaten lunch and dinner. I've followed some people on Twitter. All of this, yet no stations visited.
