Post by Going Underground »

Andi will be making his 21st attempt next Wednesday 28th October and boy does he have company :P

At the moment we have no planned starting station and no route, but hey there is still a whole week to go.... :shock:

Richie G has kindly offered support and if anyone else is available at any time during the day this will be very much appreciated, especially by poor old yours truly... :D

Cheers Tom, we would normally send you ahead of us with a couple of the slower ones rucksacks (yep that's me) while we do the runs.
Also getting trains numbers and other information that we may have missed and possibly drinks / food. Any input on the day is welcome, sometimes different ideas get thrown into the hat if you have to change route.
I have supported many a time and did so before I attempted a full network and I quite enjoy it....

I recall the Browns / Starkey / Rachel Brabbins from BBC 3CR attempt, the leggy blonde was brodcasting live and half the forum were out supporting us by the end of the day :lol:

Andi how about your route you were going to do with Sara from T4 that you changed as you got an earlier T4 train?

Seeing as half the forum's out It'd be nice to come and say hello!

If you start at T4, I might be able to pop over and see you guys off! and come out for the first hour,

If not let me know where your looking to finish and I'll try and meet you at the end!

So looks like Andi, Starkey, Nozza, Al and Kev then...

Weather forecast looks excellent :D

Not sure if Andi has copied you all in on the possible routes and also how is everyone fixed logistics wise for getting to whatever start / back from the finish?
