Winchester Royal 30-40 minutes?


Who are you asking?
Does anyone else here know where you live?

I always thought he was Winchester based but perhaps I'm due a whoosh there

Unbelievable Jeff
Ouroboros 51 hours, though I've found it necessary to stop for a rest a couple of times which extends it a bit further.


Just out of interest, in what town do you live in?


Oh I live in Reading, I've just got really sore feet.

OTOH I challenge anyone on here to have been born as near to the Madstad as I was.

My humble apologies.
I did indeed confuse you with winchester_royal.
He's been annoying me as of late, hence the cheeky "Who are you asking?" response.

It appears you had the username for two whole years before the imposter came along. You'd think he would have just picked a different username, how rude!

Indeed.
As The Big Bang Theory reminds me, a light year is a unit of distance, not time (what the question was after).

Oddly I was recently thinking of doing this some time - I was reckoning on 2 days with an overnight stop somewhere on the canal.

Far cry from Elm Park days when I could run home in time for the results on the radio.

Funnily enough Fox I was thinking similar. Or perhaps cycling it.

But then I don't really go to home games anymore :|

mr_number 14hr 58mins. Important for motivation to sneak under the 15 hour barrier.


Green - I thought you lived West London... Have you moved?

Yep my three and a bit years in West London came to an end a couple of months ago. SE10 is now where I call home.


Oh yes. I remember that conversation now.
