Zone 1 & 2 Challenge - 8th November 2008

[Soup Dragon]

I reckon we should schedule for 8th November, as we don't want to do this too close to Christmas. I would suggest a 10am start, which should give us time to complete and get to the pub for more darts!
Now the big question.... do we all start at the same station or can we start where we like?
As long as we make the rule that everyone starts from their nominated station on the first train after 10am.

I think the mass start at E. Putney would be good fun, by the time we have done 2 changes I reckon everyone would have gone their separate ways.....And everyone has exactly the same start time then.........

OK moving back to Friday 31st Oct would those that expressed an interest rather do a R15 We could start at 1300 or later if need be and if you are working you might be able to get away with 1/2 days leave Also give us more time for pub/darts

8th november should be fine for me is there any possibility of a map cut out from the rest to show the zones 1&2.

I think this is right - let me know if not. [EDIT] The DLR, LO and the ELL replacement bus are on the map, but obviously do not form part of the Z12 challenge.

Welcome to the forum. Yes indeed Mr Riley, anyone is welcome to attend. Once we've decided on the official starting station and start time, full details will be posted here. You can either plan your own route or there might be someone you can accompany in the day.

[palkanetoijala31]

Is this OK?

[palkanetoijala31]

Well whomever wins this should be hailed as a conquerer are u allowed outside the zones 1&2 for example at north greenwich.

[palkanetoijala31]

Is there any start time for this yet or going ahead and is everybody meeting at east putney.

[greatkingrat]

In the Z1 Challenge you are allowed to leave Z1 so I think in this challenge you can visit zone 3 if you think it would help.

An East Putney start seems sensible. Does everyone have to take the first train from East Putney or can you wait for a particular destination, eg if the first train is to Edgware Road can you wait for a City train?

[jbom1]

are u allowed outside the zones 1&2

I think you must be - it would be a nightmare otherwise.

[dudey]

Of course you are - it's a convenient public transport link. Think of it as a bus. On rails.

Certainly not a democratic bus.
