Welcome to the forum, Neil, thanks for letting us know about your attempt. Everybody on here has made stupid mistakes at some point, so you shouldn't worry about it Better luck next time!
I heard that you had been in contact with Andi regarding the attempt before it was made. Did he not clarify with you what the challenge actually entailed? It's an unfortunate error that would add hours onto the time! Frequency on LOROL is horrendous at times.

Better Luck next time and welcome to the forum!!

He didnt ask that question i presumed he knew he didnt have to do.
I make "schoolboy" mistakes on every challenge, including 2 on the Z1 last Friday and I have competed in dozens
Anyway a warm welcome to the forum and if you fancy any "Alternative" challenges there is a regular R15 championship and other events...
Twice former full network GWR holder and former Zone 1 Olympic and World Record holder with The Raven and Soupie Tube personality of the year 2009 Twice Winter Olympic Biathlon Gold Medalist with The Beer Baron 2008 All Lines Olympic Gold
my common mistake is still forgetting the cross platform terminators sometimes but i have got better it nearly got me on zone 1 with a tower hill but fortunately it was our train that went 1st.
When all is said and done though, I reckon that 21 hours whilst including the London Overground network is quite a time, and that with a little polishing you should end up with quite a competitive time!
First and so far only female solo record holder!!
