Yes indeed, we used the pub after the Cannon Street Run. It proved popular so we are back again.

Could I make a suggestion, in the interests of a punctual (i.e. 1230) start? Anyone who arrives after this time who is participating not only suffers a time penalty, but also has to get the beers in at the pub! I think this would be a suitable deterrent

I can bring some sticky tape and if anyone is late I will stick an envelope for them on the entrance to Aldwych Station. If we all start our watches promptly at 12:30, the same will apply for anyone who hasn't made the start on time. A similar thing happened at Earls Court R15 when I couldn't make the start, I started about 20 minutes after everyone else and still came 3rd I think.

I'm not sure if I start approximatly 2 hours late, it'll be worth me making the effort... so see you all in the pub afterwards!

You never know Sam after my Random 20 attempt a few weeks ago

Well chaps, 24 hours and 10 minutes from now till we move ourselves between 15 tube stations.

I'm still coming and I'll wear a hat of some description. Also when I'm at Aldwych I might "Olly Olly Olly" just so you know!

Adam.

Am I the only one coming?

Adam.

No

There should be at least 10 of us, maybe more.

Judging i am too tired to come up i wish u all good luck the station count yesterday was a appaling i was wondering if any stations were open.

I feel that I should apologise for not coming to the pub afterwards, it's not that I don't like you. I just couldn't find it!

But it was an appaling run from us with a time of 4h 27mins.

Then again, I did forget that we don't have to do the stops in order.

But either way it was a great day and I thank you guys for it. See you next time maybe..

Adam.

Yes, the pub was quite tucked away and tricky to find. Even when I did get there, I was wondering it it was the right pub!

Sorry to have missed you, but glad you managed to complete the set, even with the adverse start

I'm sure the BERC will be along with the full results in due course.

A very well attended event and a "kind" set of stations considering the closures....

Sorry to hear about Adam's slight misunderstaning of the format for visiting the stations and it's a shame we only really got to say "hello" and the pub proved tricky to find
I hope it hasn't but you off and hope you can get along next time...........

However your little "glitch" has given the BERC and others and idea... As you know we like to throw a "twist" into these R15's so we are maybe thinking about having a round where you DO have to visit them in strict order, possibly on the basis of a rally start...

I would certainly vote in favor of this

The R15 generator was very kind to us indeed and gave us the easiest set of stations so far.

Well, it was great to say "hello" but it would have been even better to say "goodbye" as well #laughs#

And shouldn't we get bonus points for coming last by milles!!

Adam.

ah well, hopefully I'll use my joker next time as long as the lost running around Paddington doesn't mess our time by more than 10 minutes... so next round is somewhere around december?
