[Dr Who]

We are planning to do a 129 snake from Epping to Heathrow whereby teams will depart at the same time but following different routes...
Please see attached links for 129 snake details / routes...

The plan will to meet at 1130 hrs westbound platform at Epping for 1136 hrs departure and routes will be drawn, hopefully we might have them all mapped by next Friday......

This will then be followed by an evening All Lines challenge starting at around 7 - 7.30pm.....

Anyone is welcome to attend either or both challenges..


EDIT: Apologies, this is 27th Oct not Nov, looking forward to hopefully seeing a few of you then...

I assume this is Friday 27th Oct....... ?

All being well see you at Epping for both challenges........

[Dr Who]

You should know what the date is GU as you are organising this challenge!

[Going Underground]

Well I can't take all the credit co-organiser

[Dr Who]

Just to confirm that this is still on for Friday but I am planning to meet an un-named person who is attempting a GWR so I can collect the watch to stop for them later in the day.....

I am still hoping to be at Epping at around 1130 ish, but if I am late then please hang on and I will be there asap.......

I love tube challenging, and have already done the alphabet challenge, how old do you have to be to do the snake challenge on friday, as me and my friend would like to come along if that is possible

marco spiro age 14

[tubeguru]

how old do you have to be to do the snake challenge
marco spiro age 14

That's a new one ... an age limit

[jonny]

What TG is trying to say is go along whatever your age. You'll be very welcome.

[tubelover1706]

thanks i will see you at epping at 11 30 on friday

[greatkingrat]

I think the only challenge with an age limit is the alphabet drinking challenge!

I will be attending on Friday as well. How will the All Lines challenge in the evening work? Will we all start from the same place?

[editorsfoot]

I think the only challenge with an age limit is the alphabet drinking challenge!

Surely there is nothing wrong with a bit of underage binge drinking? Anyway they can always drink a coke, or won't that count?

[Starkey7]

Well I was going to do it sometime, and mostly drink waters, but I'm probably going to be over the age limit for that!

I'm in London on this day, and if what I'm doing goes badly wrong then I might just come along too, if somebody gives a starting point and time.

[Soup Dragon]

Good luck with your Snake Challenge, I hope it won't be hissing down for you!

[Going Underground]

OK, just to confirm that myself and Dr Who will be at Epping on Friday as near to 1130 as possible...Like Dr Who mentioned we have to meet and collect a stop-watch for soemone doing a 275...so please wait for us we will be there!!

Having looked at this all the snakes follow the same route as far as Liverpool Street, so as well as drawing routes we will draw starting times also ...

Like Mr Tubeguru mentioned we have no age limit so look forward to meeting you on Friday.....


With regard to the all lines in the evening, the plan would be to meet up after the snake challenge and then head into Central London... I think with the all lines you can start from and station/line you like....depending on the time you may even have a chance to have a couple of attempts...

Then a final meet after that up to confirm times etc.....

[greatkingrat]

I don't think we need to draw seperate starting times otherwise some people will be sat at Epping waiting for an hour or more. We will all have to split up sooner or later so I don't have a problem with us all going round together for the first hour or so.

You never know, if some people are quicker than others we may have split up before we get to Liverpool Street.
