I shall be there. I'm starting on the 12:44 from Wembley Stadium. I have a rough route, but I'm basically going to wing it.
Is the post-event meet up confirmed as The Champion? Where is that exactly?

What time are people expecting to finish in?
I can't attend the challenge but If its likely to be a finish around 6pm I might pop down after work for a pint and some darts.

Challenge appears to take around 5 hours. Given most people are probably finishing at Acton Main Line, Ealing Broadway or Wembley Stadium, likely between 4:30 and 6:30, people should arrive at the pub between 5 and 7:30.

That seems about right. With my later start I'm definitely worried that I'll have to battle commuters for the last few trains.

The problem with weekdays. It's all about the Saturday challenges...

Good luck with Old Street and Moorgate on a Saturday!

Yes, that is a snag of Saturday challenging. But for all else bar the FNC, find a Saturday without engineering works and the network is your best friend.
