If the attempt's off I presume you'll be getting some practice in on the runs while you're up there for the day...

It wasnt geoff and neil.Well the weather was horrible damp drizzling very slippy underfoot we all missed the 1st connection which added 20 mins to all our plans.So knowing this i decided to tag along with the team of 4 for a bit and proceding to North Harrow.Where they got no luck wiv buses running alongside i did the mistake of stop starting stop starting going down the list of team members which caused my muscle to pull probably caused me to run at 85% of normal.

I then after saying goodbye preceed to look into the SLAM and would have set annugural record if Wimbo had been in service at that time it going to be an interexting event that 1.

Sometimes u just know when ur luck is not running wiv u i even fell asleep on the train after SLAM so i dont think i had enough sleep the previous 2 nights the 3man 1 woman team aborted after 9 hours so i hear.

"South London All Modes" ... what?

January is a ridiculous time to be doing it anyway, especially in any kind of sleety, snowy and cold weather that we'd have. what are you all, bonkers? oh, yes ...
