I'm still in the process of editing the photos to remove the time/date, and once this is completed I will post an account on my website.

The "Brown-Starkey" route has a good theoretical time but this does rely on making the Harrow Run to hit the Hainhault (sic) loop with good timing..

I had been dreading the Soup Dragon write up as we went out with a team of 5 and 1 of us didn't make the run in time due to a rather heavy session the night before
I did ease up a little with the station in sight as I didn't get any message on my "walkie talkie". However as approaching the station I heard the desperate calls of my teamates but it was too late...
I then realised that although the "walkie-talkie" was switched on I had it on zero volume

So to still be 30 mins ahead at 1900hrs was pretty good going, so we do have confidence in our route if not so some of our team members

So the train was never cancelled at all.....

No No No, read the posts correctly Sam

I'm just trying to work out why you all were so adamant that the train had been cancelled and you ALL made the Harrow run.....

That was CiN day where we all made the Harrow run. We are talking about a GWR attempt made here during Dec... read back a few posts it should all make sense hopefully

Ah right, I didn't realise, sorry about that!

I forgive you

Soup Dragon will be doing a write up at some time, it was a decent attempt considering our whole plan went out of the window and our route was changed off the cuff before 8am

But it was a clever change, and had we not had that Vomit Encounter, we'd've only been ten minutes behind our original plan at noon.

The whole vomit episode made me really sic [sic].
The thing that annoyed me most was time the cleaner took to come and clear up the mess. He just strolled down the platform like he was on a Sunday afternoon walk, with no apparent concern for the delayed passengers (and tube challengers)

Despite GU not making the Harrow run (which I was not going to mention!) Ping Pon made the run and stayed on the train, so the whole team got seperated early on. Luckily he got off the train at Preston Road and we caught up with him ten minutes later. We re-planned our route and in the end I don't think missing the Harrow run made a huge difference for us.

in the ticket hall on the harrow run i fell over and really hurt my knee so for the rest of the day every run we made i was almost hobeling but it was all fun

The swedes got am ention in todays' Londno Paper.

I'll scan it in tomororw, when I'm slightly morer sober.

They also get a mention on <a href="http://www.london-underground.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Annie Mole's blog</a> I believe ...

They did indeed (direct link here) and I'd already taken a picture of the piece
