Charing cross claim

@Team 1 You'll be doing the Published Station Task

09:39

Salute a statue or bust of the four admirals commemorated in Trafalgar Square (Nelson, Jellicoe, Beatty, Cunningham), each for the duration of the Royal Navy’s anthem, Heart of Oak.

Does this work?

09:42

Which are they intending to salute? I can't see in the video.

09:45

As in which statue or bust?

@Team 1

We just made a video and trying to upload it

09:47

It's bigger than nitro limit

09:47

We're intending to salute the lion behind us

Unfortunately the lion isn't an admiral

09:50

@Team 1

@Team 1 Charing Cross has been claimed by Team 2 btw now.

@Team 1 Station Challenge: You must acquire a red sauce (e.g. ketchup, strawberry jam etc.) and one team member must smear some of this around their mouth. You must then film that team member as if they are a zombie coming out of Westminster Bridge House, the original terminus of the London Necropolis Railway.

@Team 1 You'll be doing the Station Challenge

Which is?

pretend to give birth to a “baby” on the Bakerloo line platforms. Procure a watermelon, dress it up as a baby, and pretend one of your teammates has given birth to it. You must carry this watermelon with you for the rest of the game or you lose the station. If another team kidnaps your melon, they steal the station. You must inform the helpdesk if you lose or destroy the melon.

Oh no

10:53

This is the one I was scared of

Hope this counts

Your challenge is: Ape Attack One team member must climb at least 4ft high, or 2 stories of a building and remain for at least 10 seconds.

Could we complete this challenge in a different area?

11:33

But we won’t start claiming the next station

How far are you planning to go?

As long as its reasonable

Just to London bridge

That is fine

I don't think the rules said anything about where you have to complete the challenge, right? As long as the individual challenge doesn't specify the location

Yeah, that's fine. Just as long as you complete the challenge before taking a selfie and starting another one. (edited)

What's the rules on abandoning a challenge?

11:35

Not saying we're doing that for this one just hypothetical

There does not have to be any justification. The station remains unclaimed. If you want to restart, you must retake the photo at the station. The challenge remains permanent and is not regenerated

1

That doesn't look like 2 stories/floors to me... You seem to have climbed the staircase by 1 floor?

Hmm yeah, but it's also 4ft?

Joe

Hmm yeah, but it's also 4ft?

That would be if you're climbing an object like a tree or statue or something

11:55

If its difficult to find a building with 2 floors we'll accept 2 buildings going up one floor each

@Team 1 All team members must enter or exit Bank station using all twelve entrances/exits and take a photo at each. If an entrance is closed, just the photograph will suffice. This includes the nine numbered exits from the Central line concourse, the lift on King William Street, the new Bloomberg/Walbrook exit and the new exit on Cannon Street.

Does the one we already took count as one?

Its not clear which exit it is

I'm getting confused

12:21

Does the old exits count?

It's this one

Take a photo at each one and send as you go, probably the easiest way to verify

So just the lift on King Willam St then

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

The last two we've already done

Which one is cannon street and which one is the lift on king william? Or whichever two you said you've done. Just for clarity. Thanks. (edited)

Station Challenge: Climb the Monument. One team member must ascend the Monument as far as the viewing gallery. When there, they must photograph another member of the team who has not climbed the Monument. Please note that tickets up the Monument are £6.00, or £4.50 if you have valid student ID

Looks like it might be closed because of the weather

called it

Image attachment

We generate a challenge now

Doing task metro

12:58

From Way Downtown: Take a photo of a team member at least a quarter of a mile away.

Do we have to go up a tower?

No

Up to those buildings in the middle, is that around quarter?

Image attachment

Are bank and monument considered adjacent? No right?

Joe

Are bank and monument considered adjacent? No right?

No

FormulaOtaku/RacingWeeb

Up to those buildings in the middle, is that around quarter?

Checking on a map

please hurry our plan depends on this

We're trying to identify those buildings

Image attachment

We were facing east from the monument

this wouldn't be a quarter of a mile

Quarter mile is 400m

I don't think it was either, I measured it myself

13:09

I don't think we'll be able to do this challenge

I'm not sure you can easily do this one while sticking to the streets

13:11

If you're vetoing and moving on let us know

We're gonna have to split up for this challenge, how does that work with tracking?

13:19

See my real-time location on Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ME9yuW54RJxsUhYZA

See my real-time location on Google Maps!

Visit Google Maps to check out my real-time location. With the Google Maps App you can share your location with friends and family too.

IT's probably easier to tell us where the team members will be

Oof I'm having second thoughts about whether we can do this before the break. Maybe if I'm quick

13:28

I can't really see Southwark bridge from here

13:28

Wait yeah I can

13:28

Image attachment

13:28

They should be somewhere in that picture

Heads up: If you are separated at exactly 13:30 you may choose where you restart

Guys help where are you?

Raising our hands

13:29

Further to the east side

13:29

Of the plinth I think

Image attachment

13:30

I see you in that pic

Other side

13:30

Quick

It's too late

You get a bit of leeway

13:30

take the photo

Try complete the challenge asap - we'll let you off

Ideally if you can circle the other team member(s) would be easiest to verify

Guys there is no east sife

You may then restart at either of the two locations you're at

Image attachment

13:31

Here's another photo will have to play a game of where's wally over lunch

13:32

You guys wanna come to Blackfriars or me back there?

We’re gonna head over there

13:32

Find somewhere warm for us to sit

Can you at least point an arrow where you would be?

I've got no idea, they said the east side but that's like the other side of the bridge from where I am, the bridge goes north south

@Team 1 We will give you the benefit of the doubt and awarding you Monument station. You may restart at either of the two bridges

1

Yay

Can we restart separated just as we were, if we fail where's wally and happen to decide to reattempt the challenge?

You can if you want but we've awarded you the station - no need to redo the challenge

Oh yeah ok

13:37

Forgot that was the same station

13:38

Just waiting for them to arrive then I'll send a photo of our location

Just send one of yourself

Image attachment

1

For the Blackfriars station challenge, could we just walk along the pavement along the bridge and into the station? Or are you counting that as part of the road?

14:05

Otherwise maybe I'm being stupid but I'm not seeing how it's hard

A pavement is not part of a road, so that would be fine.

14:09

However, you must start on the correct side of the bridge, being the eastern pavement

Which is the same dude as where the station is

14:15

I see the challenge now though

1

14:15

There's an annoying narrow road next to the station

Idk if we need to send a photo for this but we're resuming where we left off

Claiming Blackfriars?

Find a book by an author with the (sur-)name of one of your teammates and read a page. OR All team members must walk from the eastern side of Blackfriars Bridge to the inside of Blackfriars Station, without setting foot on a road. (For the avoidance of doubt, Blackfriars Passage counts as a road.) (edited)

14:33

@Team 1

How do you want the evidence of this bridge challenge?

14:35

I don't want to waste all my data on a long video

First, pick the challenge you want to do

Bridge

Complete video would be ideal, but photos of the route would also work

One team member must recite the full V speech (the one starting "Voilà" and ending "you may call me V") from memory while standing outside the station

Thank you!!!

15:08

Do statues count?

If you can confirm it is locally made

The design of the statue was given to three of the leading sculptors of the day with the final design won by J. Harvard Thomas and the casting went to Henry Young & Co. Pimlico. The base was built of Aberdeen and Peterhead granite by William Wright & Sons Otley Rd. Bradford.

15:13

It’s partially made in London?
