I'm planning to use twitter when possible (and subject to signal/battery life) to keep you updated... I'll be using the account @broomster and the hashtag #tubechallenge if you wish to keep track :-) I'll also use the #fb hashtag to cross post to my personal facebook page as and when suitable :-)
We have a website :-)
http://tubechallenge.moonfruit.com
Let us know what you think.. We hope it explains what we're doing, and why we're doing it.. but if not feel free to contact us :-)
email me at broomster@gmail.com or tweet me @broomster :-)
The justgiving sites to donate are at is.gd/broomster and is.gd/sionjones :-)

Well, planning is coming along nicely.. Well, I think so anyway :-)
We've got an extra person tagging along, in the shape of my good friend Chris Harvey, who is also a fellow railwayman.. The theory is, that if one of us starts to flag, the other two will kick their arses :-) Also, if things go a bit pear shaped during the day (eg points failures, broken trains etc etc) then there will be 3 heads to come up with a back up plan.....
Anyway, a "provisional" plan A is below....

Tube Challenge - Info and Thanks,.
Hi,
You've found our TUBE CHALLENGE site :-)
For those of you not in the know, the Tube Challenge is to visit all of the Tube Stations on the London Underground network in a day.. The world record is just over 16 hours...
So, who are we?
We're Mike and Sion, both Railway Workers from Aberystwyth in Mid Wales. We're raising money for our favourite charities and would appreciate you sponsoring us - even a little goes a long way!
We're going to attempt the challenge on the 5th November, and the current plan is to start at Amersham in Bucks, and finish at Heathrow T5, after visiting all the other stations on the network :-)
If you wish to donate, please visit our Justgiving sites :-
Mike
http://www.justgiving.com/broomster
for the Neonatal Unit at Swansea's Singleton Hospital
Sion
http://www.justgiving.com/Sion-Eurfyl-jones
fro the Wales Air Ambulance.
We would like to thank Virgin Trains for their assistance, and also Mike's good friend Wray Norton for her assistance in publicity, promotional material, t-shirts and general support :-)
Would also like to thank The South Wales Evening Post, and also The Cambrian News for the publicity they have given us.
More info will be posted shortly on possible routes, our plans, our motives and anything else relevant :-)

Blank Mind
My head has gone blank tonight and is struggling to get ideas pieced together... All I've done so far tonight is find out where our hotel at Heathrow is, and that we need to get to T4 to start..
T4, round to T123 - then change for a very tight connection (booked a minus) back to T5, and then away from the airport... After that, as per yesterdays starting plan..
