How about a Photo R15? By that I mean taking the principle of the xmas park challenge of having to exit every one of the selected stations and take a photo of the front of the station

I think that the yearly Random 15 thing should be four or five or six Random 15s, each with their own little twist (like added DLR, zone 3, whatever).

I'd be up for this too, as long as we were allowed support crews.

I have the equivalent on most R15's - Bus maps, train timetables, A to Z, 3 to 4 sets of darts, couple of bottles of drink etc....... :(

The BERC rules: Yes but this would have to be done on a handicap system, with faster runners given more bricks to carry than slower runners.

The BERC rules: I think that should be part of the International R15 Championship, which will also include, Paris, Moscow, Isle of Wight & Basle.

On the R15 to include Z3.... on consideration I think we could do this for one round, either November, January or May. As I suggest to Kevin we could make it just Z2/Z3 although pass-through Z1 would be allowed, or simply stick to Z1-3. I think with a 12:00 start and maybe a 4:30 time limit this could be a good challenge. Any team failing to visit all 15 stations would have to note number of stations visited inside 4:30, so exact arrival times at each station would be crucial in the event of tied number of stations visited.

I suppose this could make route planning that little bit more interesting.

If you were to get a set of stations that were pretty spread out, you may have to plan your route to cover the most stations rather than completing all the stations.

Imagine being caught by a random search by British Transport Police and trying to explain having bricks in one's bag!

I think the current schedule of 3 normal R15s and 3 "twist" R15s is fine as it is. I don't think we need to come up with a twist for every event.

I would like to point out that my suggestion of carrying bricks was a sarcastic tongue in cheek suggestion.

I *think* everyone realised it, but I still worry that someone might take me seriously.
