UPDATE.....Starting station is Aldgate. All competitors to meet outside Aldgate for prompt start after 19:00.

The Bottle challenge will commence at 19:00 on 15th July.
The starting station will be chosen at random from a list of nominated stations.
If you plan to take part you may nominate 1 starting station by sending me a PM.
I will draw the starting station on Saturday so you will have a couple of days to plan your routes. Thanks to those who already PM'd me their nominations.

That was the style we were attempting, no expense was spared in making this video! :)

Anyone wishing to take part in Tuesdays event should be at the starting station by 19:00, don't forget that Cannon Street closes at 21:00, so you need to plan a route that ensures you pass through before it closes. The meeting point after the challenge will again be The Horse & Groom as we need to finish the semi finals of the darts competition (Ryan vs Antony and Kevin vs Matt Nunn), also the beer is nice and cheap.

Competitors for the Bottle
Kevin Brown
Ryan Brown
Matt Nunn
Matt Scrivin
Steve Karahan
Antony Brown
Jamie Brown
John Stark

It wasn't professional darts players, silly... it was just busty young women with nothing better to do.

As good as that programme was, I preferred the trampoline weather, presented by a midget on a trampoline. "It'll be very sunny up here (bounce) here (bounce) here (bounce) and here", that sort of thing.

See you all there just before 7 tomorrow. I have a route which comes out with an alright time, but I'm still not happy with it :P
