Hello All,

I'd love to, Matt! However I'm at university at the moment. My team are having a poke around the Tube in two weeks' time, so you could do it then (as long as my team don't mind).

Are we going to be on TV, Matt? Because I've told all my mates that we'll be on BBC1 in the evening.

If you need any specific advice about certain interchanges, I'm happy to help you out.

If you have their full welcoming support - why are you current in negotiations with them?

Our team were out and about researching the route for Children in Need on 14th October. Myself & Dr Who researched the Wimbledon-Morden area as well as High Barnet-Cockfosters. It was a very enjoyable day and I would have liked to join everyone for the mouse challenge but had to head home to Worthing :(

Ah, what the hell. I see no reason not to join you, if you're willing to have me :)... count me in for the Thursday.

I'm not exactly super fit, but I'm prepared to give the various runs my best shot (on the understanding that I won't be jeopardising any actual bona fide record attempts if I do end up slowing people down... it is more of a "fun light-hearted honest attempt to get around it in one day" thing like Tube Relief, right?)

I don't mind helping out with route planning, although my opportunities to go out and do practice runs may be quite limited.
