If you start at T4, I might be able to pop over and see you guys off! and come out for the first hour,
If not let me know where your looking to finish and I'll try and meet you at the end!

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Not received anything yet. I have decided to drive down, but will need a lift from the end to Hatton X either am or pm.Going Underground wrote:So looks like Andi, Starkey, Nozza, Al and Kev then...
Weather forecast looks excellent
Not sure if Andi has copied you all in on the possible routes and also how is everyone fixed logistics wise for getting to whatever start / back from the finish?
Weather is going to be a bit hotter than I would have liked, however, does the extremely mild Tuesday night mean less leaf fall?

Makes no difference to leaf fall. & It will be good to see the Great king Rat on a full network.

I think leaf fall is mainly a problem first thing in the morning when the leaves have had time to build up. It should be fine by the time we get to Amersham.
Can someone PM me the route?

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
From what I've seen, the reason for the leaf time table is that special speed restrictions apply downhill from Amersham to Chalfont, because of possible extended braking distances. Going to Amersham is not affected.greatkingrat wrote:I think leaf fall is mainly a problem first thing in the morning when the leaves have had time to build up.

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Thanks, both of you.
I am going to be on the 0442 Heathrow Connect from Paddington which arrives at T4 at 0510 so rather than try and get to Hatton Cross I will be waiting on the platform at T4 for you.

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Tube 22? Andi you're crackers! Yeah, I'd like you to pick me up please. I have your number; I presume that you have mine. If for any reason I need to bail before the morning (ie not enough sleep) then I'll text you promptly to save you a wasted journey.
If not, then what time would be convenient for your arrival by car here?

Re: Andi & Gang attempt 28th October
Is anyone leaving a car at Amersham to get back in the evening, or are we all travelling back on the tube?
