Well, I'm guessing since nothing has been heard it's going to be on the 14th of May!

Hi Guys, sorry for my recent 'disappearance'... I can confirm that the challenge will be on 14/05/16. The start station will be **Drum roll** Amersham, with the start time being 12:30, so get there for 12:15 and meet outside the station. Any Questions, please email me or message me on facebook.

I don't think I'm revealing any big secrets by pointing out that getting the 1241 Chiltern train is useless (get the 1246) as it just means a longer wait at Chalfont & Latimer for a Chesham.
Anyway, given that there's no train south out of Amersham after 1230 until 1241, would it be allowed to arrive on the 1157 Chiltern from Marylebone due 1232?

I'd start at either Chesham or Amersham, I think it doesn't make much sense starting anywhere else! Perhaps Upminster, I guess, but there's just so few trains up in the NW Corner plus it's so far out and I'd rather not leave it to chance.

I suggest we find a darts pub near Fenchurch Street, since I'd imagine we'll all be trying to finish at Upminster. Then again, if anyone objects we can just move to one of our usual haunts.

I will text my result to Josh as I won't be finishing until around 2030hrs and and it won't be Upminster So I plan to head straight home.... Even with Upminster finish it doesn't leave a lot of pub/darts time.... The start is a bit late for that really..

I've redone my route and I don't think I'll be finishing at Upminster either. The timetables I believe to be dreadful (especially with regards to Uxbridge - Ealing Broadway connections) so what I will do is finish at Chalfont and Latimer instead. You can tell me I'm crazy, but that's what the timetables say so I'm not listening to you.
07 - 18 - 31 - 32 - 44 - 59
And yes, the start is a bit late for darts, I'm sure Josh has something worked out though.
