Fine.
Garion, the route is the method of getting between stations that we'll be taking on the day. Happy?

That was route 1) Which we are going to use only IF we have missed Andi's perfect Hainualt loop and are behind schedule..... Our primary plan is now route 3)
I will try and get this to you....

On the day am aiming to arrive at St. Pancras at either 1207 or 1212 so can do a lunch drop for you guys after then if you like. Bear in mind I will have luggage with me until I can get rid of it at the hotel (near Heathrow), so running will not be an option! Will then be available for the rest of the day.
I guess one of you guys will want to text/phone me to tell me which station to go to on the day - who should I PM with the number?
Also, just thought - am at work from 0600 to 1000 so can post early updates if you want to let the few people not taking part know how you are getting on

That's my target met, £150 raised

and if people want updates, I'll be twittering (
www.twitter.com/jamestong_rnd) throughout the day too.

OK if all goes to plan we should be at West Ruislip around 2.15pm and then in the South West part of the network for a while after that. I have your number unless it's changed and I think you have mine so perhaps you can let me know when you have dropped your stuff off and we can probably meet you in the Ealing / Acton Area?
Did you want advance orders from people for food to save you trying to find anywhere on the day? Unless people fancied something hot like McD's in Richmond? We are scheduled to get to Richmond shortly before 4pm.....

Number is the same. I'll take orders from people on the day - I'm sure I'll be able to find places to buy sandwiches etc. in Hounslow. I can also do a hot meal drop in the evening time to lift the spirits as required.
Good luck all, and see you on the day!

I'm twittering for work, happy to have the feed added to any other site too. I'll be taking two phones with me - my smartphone for web access (e.g. Twitter/TfL site) and my mobile which has a pretty decent camera on it.
I thought the meeting point was at Hatton Cross at 6am?

Blimey, that doesn’t give me much time for filming!

I am the one with all the photographic equipment, so no doubt I be the on train cameraman for the challenge (as per per usual role). Since I am on my Oyseter, I can hang back at interchanges to take the photo whilst you lot get a bit of a head start
