Might do although my car is parked at Hatton X, will work OK if we can get back to Feltham in time then 285

Due to personal reasons at the moment I can not make the event (gutted), but this may change nearer the time.

A tube challenge newbie. Sounds like something I'd like to try possibly. Probably would need to do a 4-6 hr trail run solo.

Did we decide on a theme or just throw ideas around?

Or is it just general-wear?

In that case, it's a good thing I ordered my costume earlier today :P All the way from America ;)

One question: Has anyone set up a JustGiving page yet? (if not, would you like me to make one?)

Rather annoyingly my route doesn't run to schedule anymore as they have changed the District Line timings and more importantly the Chiltern up to Amersham....

I still want to start in Richmond and finish at T5 for ease of logistics, if anyone wants to start working on a route then please feel free... I will continue to "number crunch"

Those that are attending ONLY can PM me if you want any other information on this or what my opening gambit is....

BTW ordered my fancy dress today and is in the post :)
