I also find it interesting to see how many people seem to be planning on starting by arriving at Clapham Junction. I can't attend the SLAM unfortunately but if I find myself bored I might theorise a routepalkanetoijala31 wrote:Its interesting to see how many people have technically giving away half their route seeing as they would have to do tramlink in 1 big gulp for the record.Im happy wiv my therotical time just got to figure out how to get back to pub whats the ruling on start time for the darts afterwards.?

Re: Vancouver 2010
Don't forget anyone planning to start by arriving at Clapham Junction will actually be starting at Imperial Wharf. It's important that everyone understands that as you can't start your watch on an arriving train, therefore the watch MUST be started on doors closing at Imperial Wharf.RichieG wrote:I also find it interesting to see how many people seem to be planning on starting by arriving at Clapham Junction.

Re: Vancouver 2010
Or if your silly enough to want to: at West Brompton if your train doesn't stop at Imperial Wharf. Correct?

Re: Vancouver 2010
Only that the timer starts when the doors close as the train leaves, and that it has to be atrain heading towards Imperial Wharf and beyond, none of the other Clapham Junction destinationspalkanetoijala31 wrote:is there any rules on starting at clapham junction.?

Re: Vancouver 2010
I'd say that Richie's interpretation is spot on. You can choose to ignore my flippant question if you wish, because in retrospect it was just that.

Re: Vancouver 2010
I don't think it gives the routes away saying that the Tramlink will be done in one hit, I for one wont be starting at CJ or Imperial Wharf or West Brompton for that matter...palkanetoijala31 wrote:Its interesting to see how many people have technically giving away half their route seeing as they would have to do tramlink in 1 big gulp for the record.Im happy wiv my therotical time just got to figure out how to get back to pub whats the ruling on start time for the darts afterwards.?

Also there are several ways of doing the Tramlink, even in one go..
As soon as 4 people are at the pub then you have enough to officialy start matches that points count towards... So I will be waiting at The H & G for the next 3 people to arrive

Re: Vancouver 2010
I'd spent a little while working on a SLAM route, then realised that it is being held on a Saturday which means that I can't make it due to playing football! I'll certainly head over to the pub after the game though, can't put a time on that though as I don't know if we are home or away yet.

Are we going to neglect that branch for this challenge (which suddenly becomes ineligible for records even in it's own category) or take the replacement buses?!
