Guess it was summer holidays last time + they knew what to do this time since the last one was quite recent...
We're still waiting for the certificate, but my Claim progress at their site says:

I think GU's team are putting a brace face on it ... I bet you won't beat it

Well done Hwolge. Good to see that planning and thought can triumph against just being the fastest runner....although maybe not so good for me!
However we're all talking about Going Underground's attempt now...might be a briefly-held record!

Well, I'm humble to all new attempts. I know our route could be completed in around 18 hours flat on a good day... However, I'd be surprised if our record is wiped by anything but an Amersham-Heathrow route!
Good Luck to all of TNT on the charity run!
If you're interested, I could enter your route into my planning software and see my best estimate for it - full confidentiality promised!

Why are you so skeptical, Neil? We've got a nice Amersham-Heathrow route and our time is well within the record.
Hakan, does "full confidentiality" mean that you won't go and copy our route?

Of course it does - unless it happens to be my route already...
No, seriously, I doubt I'll make another attempt in the forseable future - and I certainly would never use anything I didn't come up with on my own!

Already Hakan is learning that once you hold the record, you've done it - no need to go and prove yourself again
