The connection we're talking about being Wimbledon to Morden, which the TfL Journey Planner gives as taking 41 minutes at "Average" walking pace, which I'd say is about right for a walk of just under 2 miles.James_#510 wrote:Whats wrong with walking that connection. I'm the most unfit person I know and have a bone condition in my leg but I can still walk that in 15 minutes! Come on people! Next you'll suggest taking a bus from Kenton to Northwick Park!
You can, of course, do Wimbledon to South Wimbledon on foot, but that means doubling back on the tube to "do" Morden.
Cheers,
Barry

It is a very nice shirt. The log looks great. I wished I would have ordered a large instead of medium but I havent decided which I will wear. I have three now. Two with the old blurred not afraid tube challenge logo and my badge (star and crescent) on the back . I think I may wear the blurred one. I'll show ya'll and then decide. I am bringing all three anyway in the event someone needs one.

Don't forget you could offload a couple of bits with the Euston support team, but not too much!
I'll be taking a rucksack packed full of goodies. I'll take much more than I normally do on an attempt as i'll be walking, not running - remember?
Can also thoroughly recommend taking some <a href="http://www.ciao.co.uk/Vaseline_Pure_Pet ... aseline</a> along for any nipple rub, rucksack rub, or blisters that you might get!

Will you and Neil be wearing your "Do all 274 real men" t-shirts that you wore on Zone 1 day, whilst carrying along some vaseline. People might get the wrong idea you know!geofftech wrote:Can also thoroughly recommend taking some <a href="http://www.ciao.co.uk/Vaseline_Pure_Pet ... aseline</a> along for any nipple rub, rucksack rub, or blisters that you might get!
Going back to Wimbledon-Morden issue. Looking in the A-Z, it is approx 1.5km on foot between Wimbledon and South Wimbledon. At a 10kph running speed (the speed at which I run), that would take 9minutes. At a fast walking speed I would make that about 15minutes. You would then need at add a bit of time for traffic lights, getting from the surface to the platforms, and waiting for the train. You would then have to travel both into and out of Morden, of which travelling in can be very slow progress as the trains queue to get through the crossover. Walking or running from Wimbledon to Morden is considerably longer (3km+), and would just be plain stupid.

I don't know whether anyone has ever told you this, but you have a very dirty mind lol
Fimb, if we are all in little teams then that solves your rucksack problem - if you feel able to just get all your stuff to Amersham it can be parcelled out to the rest of your squad

I appear to have allowed a stonking 26 minutes, but then I am expecting to arrive at Wimbledon just after a tram leaves -- obvious room for improvement there!I probably shouldn't say this, but when Neil & I did that bit, the doors opened on our arriving train at Wimbledon, and we were leaving Morden eleven and a half minutes later ... so that's your target!

Just a short post to while ya'll are all asleep to let you know that I have finally finished packing and will be leaving here in 12 hours for the flight over. Can't wait to meet all of you and probably will not be able to sleep ! I should get to London on Tuesday and will contact Geoff and Paul to let them know I have arrived. I will get to an internet to check posts and such. I hope that I leave the 100+ degree weather and rain here and find some cool weather there. I AM READY! SEE YA SOON!!!!
