First of all a belated congratulations to the team! Can't believe that you are still talking of bettering your own time now that you hold the record now though, don't you guys ever get bored of it?
Secondly, I can see why there is a little controversy over the whole did you/did you not do Shoreditch - mainly stemming from the fact that the title of this thread advertises it as a 274 attempt, not a 275, and also the fact that there appeared to be a total reluctance to answer Hakans initial question of "I assume it was a full 275 attempt including Shoreditch", obviously not helped by Kevin stoking the fire a little later on
Thirdly, regarding the whole going solo, I would say, possible - yes, but probable - extremely unlikely. As mentioned, the amount of information that you need to collect for GWR is so sizeable that do collate it all yourself would take some serious work! Also, when you are behind record time schedule, as everyone is at some point, you need someone there to give you the old "Chins up" and boost your spirits. I for one would never consider doing a full 275 on my own!
Finally, congratulations to the team again, hope that you don't have to wait as long for GWR to confirm as myself and Sam did!
