Our goal was to visit all 275 underground stations on the current tube map in one day. A team of six people started at Chesham at 05:19 and battled the London Underground network for nearly 20 hours! After just four hours of travel we were already one hour down on our projected time, but we pushed on regardless in aid of Childern in Need!

Every time we seemed to make up a few minutes, we very quickly lost them again. The team got split up on two occasions and managed to re-converge further into the challenge. Because we had lost so much time we decided not to visit Shoreditch as the replacement bus service would have wasted too much time.

Four of the team managed to complete the challenge, with Antony and Kevin finishing at Amersham in a time of 19:39:20, having visited 274 of 275 stations. Jack & James went back out the following day to nail the last few stations that they had missed on the Friday. Jack eventually managing 274 stations in 35:15:28 and James visiting 273 in 33:28:23.    

Last year we raised over £2000 and this year we hope to surpass that total. For more details about the challenge please visit our official site: www.tubechallenge.piczo.com
