I am the other half of the team and i am confident i can make it. Hopefully should have someone else with me as well!

Kevin will never stop.... besides which it's a cheap day out for him and the kids during the half term

I'm not sure I want to know ...

Whatever happened to the good old 275?

It's still there and is obviously the "holy grail" or the "Everest" of the tubechallenge world.....
Unfortunately it isn't always possible for people to commit to a 18hours plus challenge on a regular basis and allowing for recovery time in effect you need to give up 2 days for this.....

The 275 is without question my favourite challenge and will be having another crack sometime this year....

Yes. That would be the evening as i have to work. Should be able to pull a few strings to organise an early finish.

Not so cheap anymore, Dr Who is now full fare and of course they always want feeding on the day

Myself and the other two Subways might be along, if I mention this to them...I've got the Saturday off following so I can recover

Unfortunately I'm working 9-1 that day so won't do the alphabet challenge, but hopefully this'll be my first z1 without a hangover

hate to break it to you but i don't think you'd have either of your other subways with you. i can't get the day off work and so couldn't really make it into the big smoke for 7. and i doubt jack will come down from leeds again.

shame, i'd really quite like to do it as well. i'll see you all next time guys

If you really are interested we could probably hang on another 15 mins and start at 1915hrs...
Allowing average of 3hrs 15mins that still allows plenty of time to finish and meet up afterwards........
Keep me posted

Cheers, but its 2 hours on a good run, very unlikely on a friday evening, plus its 2 hours to walthamstowe so still gotta get tube from there so wont be able to make it in time, but will deff make another event sometime!

James don't worry if only one "subway" can make it, I am sure we can get you teamed up with someone

Or you could always lie and claim that Jamie is under 16.
I can still remember buying a 50 pence 'Red Bus Rover' when I was around 18 years old
