Hi Pete

The bottle should take us about 2 - 2 1/2 hours so we will be finishing around 2pm......

Is this going to be of any use to you, if so let me know how we can help out...... :D

Are you going for GWR by the way :?:

yeah that could work. we're just doing a run through of our route so as a result we may well avoid both bus replacement services in order to get a more realistic valuation of our time. would there be any chance of you doing a food/water drop BEFORE u do your bottle challenge? I say that because my bro is dropping at 5pm.

I will be leaving Hatton Cross around 10ish to get to Bank for 1115hrs..

Let me know what you need and where I can meet you as long as I get to Bank before 1130 that will be ok.... :)

You might want to PM me with your mobile number and I will send you mine as well in case we need to keep in touch...

Also I'll be arriving at Euston at 10:10am, and then will have an hour to kill, so do let me know if I can be of assistance.

Can I suggest that with the power problems that have been affecting the central london area today - with minor effects on the tube network - station closures etc, and also the landslip on the Picadilly line at Boston Manor meaning major dealys on the whole line as it's shut south of Northfields, that tomorrow is NOT the best day to be doing this.

Of course you can moley. And pretty sensible as well. But if no-one ever tried a challenge when LUL might be having problems, we'd never use the tube at all...

Bah, Sam & Steve had a marvellous day when they obliterated the World Record. Trouble is, next one is scheduled for March 2015!

OK guys - when I wrote that last night I had got home having had an awful journey on the tube.

TfL were still expecting serious delays on the Piccadilly line today due to the landslide (instead note signal failures) and EDF seem to have managed to sort out the electricity.

Hope you guys all had a good day.
