A route that doesn't start in Buckinghamshire?!
Geography was never my strong point :oops: well spotted. It was, of course, a deliberate mistake to see who was paying attention. Yes, that's it.

If you think that I'm going to Acton Central then you're badly mistaken.

I think Acton Town to Woodside Park is best, it's the closest you can get to A-Z in terms of tube stations. Last year the Children in Need site had a direct link for those wishing to donate, we raised over £1600 through that site, I think that is a better option than the Just Giving site.

I should pay more attention to the stations on the back of my tube map :oops:

I suggested the justgiving site as that way we can see for sure how much we've all raised, rather than it becoming part of the total. It's all going to CiN anyway, that was set up before I completed it.

I've just checked the CiN site and they don't seem to have the option for people to sponsor you this year, so it looks like Justgiving is the best option.

|s age a factor with the people who are coming? If it is I can't come. If it isn't I might be able too.

Hi James, no you won't be on your own. Kevin, Jamie, Me & possibly Phillip will be doing the full network again. At this stage we are undecided if to do a mass group challenge (well at least 6 of us!) or if we are going for the World Record again. The latter depends on Guinness pulling their fingers out and confirming our record soon (12 weeks & counting).

I hope that we can do it as part of a large group as this will be more fun. I have just set up the Justgiving page for the Brown clan and I've pledged to go in fancy dress if we can raise £500 before the event :)
