What format / rules should we adopt for 2007 Park Challenge?

Exit the stations take photos and stop the watch at 18:45hrs if all not completed by then.

Just visit all the "Park" stations by tube and don't bother to exit and photo

2007 Xmas Park Challenge format

Post by Going Underground »

OK as discussed at length we have a slight problem with the available time to complete this years challenge due to the evening unplanned 15..

Do we stick with tradition and exit the stations to take photos, or just visit the actual stations as required in all other challenges?

By selecting option 1) this also confirms that you are happy with the "zonal" points scoring system should you fail to complete...

Hi Kev,

after careful thought I think I'll have to vote for option C - rein in what we can realistically do well, and go out for a fun meal after the parks challenge.

Option A - you say in the main thread that this would involve people not finishing at Elm Park to get to Willesden Green. Well why not? It's an eminently sensible finishing station, and why should people's parks challenge be compromised by an after-challenge which not everyone is going on?

Option B - workable, but loses the main defining feature of the parks challenge, and would mean that this year's times wouldn't be comparable to last year's.

I really enjoyed the curry in Amersham last year, and as it'll be coming on the end of yet another long week at work and roughly 8 hours on the tube, I think I'd enjoy more just having a meal together and catching up on how the day has gone.

I'd tentatively like to suggest eating in Willesden Green though!

After much consideration and having discsussed this with Ric we are going to postpone the unplanned 15 from Willesden Green until early 2008...

With the scores tied currently at 4-4 this looks a pretty close call anyway..
and I hadn't voted yet.......

So please now consider this topic thread CLOSED and return to the original thread for updates....
