Challenge for 5th November
Posted: 27 Oct 2013, 23:16
Hi All,
Been lurking on here for a while, but not posted until now...
Thought I'd let you guys know that I'm planning to do the full network challenge on the 5th November, starting at Amersham, Finish at Heathrow (if all goes well!).
Have managed to get a route pretty much planned out, that in theory should work though I'll be honest I haven't checked the times, so it's feasible something won't happen right.. though we've also got a fair few "plan b options" which may need to kick in during the day... I'm not expecting things to go to plan - and we're prepared to adapt as the day goes on...
I'm doing it for charity - rather than the record - as a first time attempt, I'll be happy to complete (or come close!) and think the record is realistically beyond us.. I'm a railwayman based in Aberystwyth, and I'll have a couple of colleagues tagging along also - one from Aberystwyth and one from Wolverhampton.. So far I've raised over £500 for Singleton Hospital Neonatal Unit - which I'm over the moon about, as that's what it's all about for me...

Whilst I've lurked around on the tube before, I think the furthest I've ventured out before now was zone 4 - so this will be a whole new experience
One we're all looking forward to...
