Brilliant. Millimetres from the train at WQR, now a 12 minute wait for the next. What little hope of completing we had has now gone.

Re: First Ever Attempt - Thursday 13th April
Last one from me - will only be 264 out of 270, which I'm pretty happy with. And have learnt some things for potential next time too....

That's a good first attempt, and as you say, you've learnt from it.

Also met some others at Chesham who had done it, but only missed one. They were screwed by the Heathrow problems too.

Which stations did you (and them if you know) miss, and does 274 include Kensington Olympia? Also, what happened at Heathrow?Tube Geek wrote:Also met some others at Chesham who had done it, but only missed one. They were screwed by the Heathrow problems too.

Re: First Ever Attempt - Thursday 13th April
Congrats on your first attempt
When I did my first attempt with tufnellpark our attempt was almost scuppered TWICE by the Piccadilly line (once at Rayners Lane and once trying to get down to Heathrow). I also have a number of documented attempts on various challenges of things going wrong on the Piccadilly line so some sympathies there
On the plus side, the only way is up from here ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

That's intriguing - did you do some sort of South Kenton to Preston Road transfer?Tube Geek wrote:We both missed Amersham, I also missed Watford, Croxley, H&W, West Harrow and Kenton. And see earlier post for Heathrow troubles

Yes - were going to go up Bakerloo to H&W, then back to SK and run, but ended up just missing the end two and walking it. Definitely doing Kenton-Northwick Park next time though!Iain wrote:That's intriguing - did you do some sort of South Kenton to Preston Road transfer?Tube Geek wrote:We both missed Amersham, I also missed Watford, Croxley, H&W, West Harrow and Kenton.

And good luck with your next attempt when I'm sure you'll get a full 270.

Re: First Ever Attempt - Thursday 13th April
Little update - I got in my local paper! I'm about the only person I know who reads it, and I was just looking through when I spotted my face (terrible photo though)!
It also got a few more pounds, taking the current total to £520
