Re: Anyone fancy a hello 2009 challenge?
You'd actually only need to run East Putney-Barnes, which is 1.7miles. A lot more doable, but perhaps still not worth it. I didn't know about the engineering works when suggesting South London, obviously.
Road, streets & lanes sounds interesting, if that doesn't put anyone hoping for a R15 off then i'm in. I'm just being fussy about the R15 thing, i'm so bored this holiday i'd still come!

Certainly am, looking forward to a different challenge, and I'll get to see a couple of stations that I've only travelled through before.

See you at Oxford Circus. Kev - has your number changed since 2007? Yours is the only one I've ever had (other than maybe Ollie's - not that useful at the mo!) so need to make sure I can contact you if the trains are misbehaving.

Hi Al yes number is the same, just to clarify you mention about seeing stations you have only travelled through, unless you mean something else you don't have to exit each station ala Park Challenge...al wrote:Certainly am, looking forward to a different challenge, and I'll get to see a couple of stations that I've only travelled through before.

Does a Broadway count as a road type? If so you'd need to add in Ealing Broadway and Tooting Broadway.

Re: Anyone fancy a hello 2009 challenge?
I don't know anyones address that is 57 Ashford Broadway for example so not sure, also you mentioned Ruislip & Kew Gardens last year which are more likely. In the end we decided to leave them out......Starkey7 wrote:Does a Broadway count as a road type? If so you'd need to add in Ealing Broadway and Tooting Broadway.
