Alternative Challenge Evidence

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything about it...

When submitting a time for an alternative challenge (especially a new record), what evidence is needed?

(Not say that I'll be breaking any records any time soon, but you never know!)

When I did Roads, Streets and Lanes last year, I sent Tangy my route, total time and split times of arriving/departing at interchanges. This was enough.

I guess if he thinks anything looks dodgy, he can ask for further evidence - oyster/contactless records, photos etc.

Though of course you can't submit photos if you haven't taken any, and if you've used a paper Travelcard, there's no journey record.

It's pretty much done on honesty - provide Tangy with your time and details of the route (so he can check you haven't missed somewhere or made an 'illegal' visit). That's how the Random 15 works, and similarly any other times I've given him (mostly for organised events such as Tube Olympics, Triple Crown, Pirate Day etc) haven't needed any further evidence than that.

After the completion of my FNC, I'm planning to photograph my logbook and post it on my Instagram as proof for my sponsors. Tangy can look at that
