Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
The challenge is for us to travel round all 274 stations of the tube network in one day. This should take us just the small matter of 19 hours. The Tube Challenge has been popular for around 30 years and has its own Guinness World Record.
For more information about the Tube Challenge take a look at these websites:-

We've been planning our attempt for about a year including several recce visits and checking all of the changes we have to do on foot. It's a tough challenge but for a very worthy cause.
Compton Hospice is one of the most important charities in the Wolverhampton area and though it is well known it still needs our support.
As you can see from the changed picture we have now completed our challenge. Unfortunately we just missed 7 out of the 274 stations on the day due to some early evening delays but 267 stations were completed which is a great achievement.
Thank you all for your support. We hope to have raised £800 for Compton when we have collected it all in.
