Friday, 14 November

Beery fun: , Tournament

How Much: Free!

Loosely themed around 'Boris v Ken: the rematch', two professional tube-challenger teams and one amateur team will go head to head, or at least tube to tube, to complete a world record attempt and support the BBC's annual Children in Need Day in the process.

Although the routes have yet to be confirmed, one team will attempt the excruciating task of visiting all 287 underground stations. They will be starting at Amersham station in the wee hours of the morning if you feel like cheering them on.

Hoping to break a few world records, the teams would appreciate any donations for the charity. They will be setting up a link for the fund-raising event soon, see the forum for more details.
