Attempt 19 - 9th November 2012

I was out yesterday, and was going great guns until 2100 when an out of use bus stop and truly crap underground service (not 'Good') conspired to prevent me getting a WR time, but it was a PB, at 16h 56m 55s. Pleasing and frustrating at the same time!
Still got to do something new in this one, don't think there is much I haven't tried now.

Bad luck Al, I admire your efforts to try and get inside the GWR time and well done for breaking the 17 hour barrier

Well done - you are certainly persistent. I've added your time to the the list of top times.

A record breaking attempt must bed imminent! It could happen any moment if unannounced attempts are happening! Exciting.

unnanounced attempts are happening every other day thats why current people dont publicise attempts now as ur are not sure if somebody else has gone faster even the day b4?

Al - Well done! Sub 17 hours is always a nice thing. Am adding you to my page here:

It really shouldn't matter whether or not it is an Olympia day. A completion is a completion, no matter which day you choose to do it on. Saturdays, Sundays, Olympia days, or weekdays.

Difference is, you post cryptic rubbish, which seems like you just want to show off about knowing stuff.
As for the R15 crap, yes I am well aware of the rubbish that is going on with that. Well, not that you've really told Matthew a lot other than trying to cause him more bloody stress than is needed to be honest.
