As this isn't far away now and was briefly mentioned on the topic thread below I thought I would see what the interest is for doing this as a group in fancy dress (no theme just whatever you fancy unless you want to go around as a bunch of bananas ) as we have done in 2009 and 2011.
I doubt this will be a GWR attempt but we would still try and get around as swiftly as possible and hopefully complete all 270...
Unless anyone has any objections for ease of logistics I was going to suggest Richmond T5 and work around the route that I used on Tube Olympics with Nozza

[quote="garion24wales"]Would there be a pre-event meeting or challenge (or something?) or just all turn up on the Friday?[/quote
well that could be arranged seeing as u probably have to stay the thursday night so would i and iain and rhys? perhaps?but i think drinks would be a better idea kevin if Rhys wants to organise this then why not go round as bananas or bananaman?
I've priced up the Easyhotel at Heathrow at £29 a night
Travelodge Teddington is £19 a night,
Travelodge Twickenham is £27 a night,
Travelodge Heathrow Central is £22 a night
All prices were researched on the date of this post (if people look back for accommodation)
Hmmm decisions, because myself and those who are staying in hotels need to work out transport to the starting station. GU, what time did you start when you did Tube Olympics?

ah yes travelodge always good idea heathrow lodge is not a travelodge its the white hart pub only 2 min walk from hounslow east really good for heathrow starts and richmond starts as well.
Nozza stays at Travelodge Feltham, ideal for Richmond T5
