It's Finally Here

Post by GillagePeople »

Currently on the Piccadilly to Heathrow ahead of tomorrow's FNC attempt.

Is it normal to be nervous as hell aha? I just really want it to go well.

Thanks to anyone who replied to any of my posts here :D :D

Write up will come maybe on Saturday, some kind of vlog at some point too but might be pretty basic as I can't afford a GoPro lmao

Good luck!

I was too chicken to do a FNC on my own for ages, and was lucky to be able to join other peoples attempts a few times to find my feet. Fair play to you for diving in and doing it yourself from the off :)
Held some Alternative Challenge records for a long time.
Doesn't any more.

I have one of my friends with me, but he knows very little about the tube. So the decisions are all on me. Just had a bus drive past without stopping at Edgware bus station that knocked us back a bit. But overall we're doing very well as much as I've been moaning at every red signal. Don't want to jinx it though. I couldn't do it solo. Too mentally fatiguing.
