I have adapted the tube map to show just Z1/2 stations (plus some outside the zone that might prove useful?). It also includes links showing walks, if anyone is interested I can e-mail you a copy.

In response to:
i would suggest east putney as a starting point
Having looked very closely at the Z1/2 Map I agree with Zeibura that we would need to have a set starting point, certainly for the first Z1/2 challenge. East Putney looks as good as any. But the more I look at the map the more difficult this looks.

Is anyone still planning to give Z1/2 a try on 9th June, or should we set a date later in the month when more people can attend?

9th June would be too much of a rush for Z1/Z2 so I suggest later in the year... :?:

But fear not I have a "cunning" Pre Shoreditch plan for 9th June, most Baldrick like :wink:

Post to follow later.......

This challenge involves 137 stations (or 138 including Shoreditch),
personally I think we should exclude Shoreditch, as this would be a new challenge we can make our own rules.

Soup Dragon, you updated your original post on this topic on the 10th of July this year. This is of course in two days' time! I find this amusing, and yet somehow strangely bizarre.

Damn... I must stop using the Tardis, it's a dead giveaway and fellow challengers will start to question my times :)

Count me in, the East Putney start sounds good as I really can't see that everyone is going to come up with same route on this......
The last week of August works well for me, but will try and work around whatever date is proposed :)
