I think it would be possible on a non-Night Tube day so long as you got up early.

This is a brilliant idea for a challenge. I'm sure Guinness will be interested.

I can't wait to battle for the fastest time on this challenge.

16 hours and 11 minutes must be possible.

There should also be a challenge where you roll a dice and pick a tile out of a Scrabble bag and then you have to visit a tube station in that Zone with that letter of the alphabet in it.

The winner is the first person to do it six times.

I think in this case Tangy would allow you to roll again.

Phew! I might do this tomorrow morning (the station choosing, I mean, not the actual challenge!

Perhaps you could run the first challenge once you have picked the letters and numbers.

I'm sure there'd be lots of interest.

I've just noticed that TotteRIDGE and Whetstone is part of the original challenge, so now I don't think it's possible to complete in the time.

Can turkeys fly? If so then Turkey Street will add another 17 minutes.
