Here's a few tips that I can think of. 1. As there are 7 of you, you probably need to have a good idea of your route in advance. As I was alone I could afford to take my chances here and there but in a group you need to be a bit more organised. 2. Have a look at my route - some of the sections between the Central line station (especially in the outer zones near to the East) are not obvious. I'd recommend you have an A-Z and Ordnance Survey maps showing the rights of way. 3. Keep an eye out for toilets! Sometime there are long sections without any so don't get caught out. 4. I think the standard Oyster printouts only show the last 10 journeys so you'd have to check with the Underground staff to see if it is possible to get the printout you want. If not you could always get printouts every 10 stations. Good luck with your journey and I hope your fund raising goes well. Hi Faraz,

We imagine that it will take us approximately 18 hours as it is 46 miles. At each station we will take a photograph and if possible will swipe our Oyster cards at the station to prove that we have visited there. At the end of the record attempt we can obtain an Oyster usage report that logs where and what time we visited the station. We are doing this as a sponsored fundraising event to raise money for a mobile sensory unit for a special needs school based in Leeds. My niece attends this school, Broomfield Special School, as she suffers from autism and it is for this school that we wish to raise funds. Seeing as you have completed this walk before, I would be highly thankful for any tips you can give us. Many thanks Faraz Hussain Dear Sir
