Did he buy more than 2 pints then i told him about that before what does he think a full network is if not long.

and besides this record has been held too long its about time someone attempted it.

I think that bigger teams are the way forward.
Are challenges happening on both Saturday and Monday?
I might be up for something then.

Start your clock when you depart your starting station in anger, stop on arrival at your chosen W, no re-starting, meet at Horse & Groom afterwards. First one there try and get the dartboard. We'll sort out teams when we get there, any questions, I'm here all weekend :)

If you want my number in case of emergency, by all means send a PM. If you're running slightly late and won't make Moorgate in time, just go straight to your A and get going :)

See ye on Monday :)

Currently expecting (add your name by all means):

GU (& possible other Browns)

Doesn't look like any other Brown's coming and Starkey looks out of it so could be a 4 way war...... This is gonna be weird I have never done a challenge solo before and am bound to go the wrong way at some point........ :lol:

A nice day I started at Angel just to be different from the others went up to Belsize Park nearly good double back but 2 mins and down to Chalk Farm with a perfect bus connection.

Swiss Cottage the others rang and i found out i was the same train as them all though they were hiding from me at Dollis Hill.

Back to Finchley Road and the question should we have stuck on Jubilee train who knows.

Farringdon was a 3 min wait and up to Ickenham where we had a very quick connection.

I got out at Northwick Park for a Kenton run the others stayed to do Kilburn as a k then i preceded to do a Lancaster Gate run from Paddington wasnt too bad i do that again.

Great double back at Marble Arch but then everybody quit because u couldnt get on the Central trains going into Notting Hill Carnival.

The pub was good and the more Drinks i had the better i was we had a Mammoth game Me And Greatkingrat teaming up against Scrixsi and Going underground first to 10 with a 2 game lead it went to 14-12 to them in the end great battle.

I only just got back in time for my coach it was late thank god.
