I've made it to Bedford, now it's time for my first rail rep of 2024!

I'm off to St Neots for some fun - let's get going!

Hello from Chymorvah!

This was a lovely place, although we only had a few minutes to change buses and head on towards Falmouth.

Cornwall is really impressing me and I can't wait to see what else there is!

At 10:45 on Saturday morning, the challenge began!

My team decided to do the same challenge as I did in 2020 - get a full set of stationery.

Unlike 6 years ago, I remembered where it was, saving us a lot of time!

Now to get to North Greenwich.

Earlier this week I went to Stratford Westfield, as I was enrolled on a course through work.

It's a big change, as it is the start of me getting promoted to a supervisor!

There's a lot to learn, so let's get busy!

Hello from Waterloo.

It's time to meet up with Susie, so it's 455 time to Norbiton.

Once there we headed back to Roehampton via Asda and the 849 bus.

Greetings from Lymington!

I've joined a few friends and had a lovely trip down the SWML.

It was then time to do a new ferry crossing over to Yarmouth IoW!

From there we have a look around the island, with our first stop being Alum Bay Needles!

We're back at Heworth and I think that's all we're gonna give it.

We have half an hour remaining but the trains were getting busy into Newcastle so we're off to the pub.

Let's go and meet the others!

After a fun day of exploring the Isle of Wight, it's time to head back home.

We headed to Yarmouth for the ferry back to the mainland before we got 450127 on the shuttle up to Brockenhurst.

Hello from Manors!

Having avoided the disruption on the yellow line, we're here for another crossing!

This time it's the walk across the Millennium Bridge, and for the third time this challenge, we have bumped into @coastwaywill.me and @pacerclara.bsky.social

Now that I'm in Glasgow, it's time to go and pick Susie up, as she's just flown in from Dublin.

I don't have much time, so let's get the Airport Express bus! (£11 for a single though 😭)

Good afternoon from Roehampton.

I was on a bus on Sunday to visit a station and get some unusual things on the railway.

Now the question is where am I?

After carrying on from Nottingham, it's no surprise we've ended up in Derby for this weekend's Greatest Gathering event!

Let's go see what there is on show!

After making it to Motspur Park, I changed for another train to Tolworth!

From there I got a bus to Susie's and then we headed into Kingston to see Self Esteem play at Pryzm (they just released an album).

Now it's back to Susie's to sleep.

A few days later I was in Hemel to cover at another store, which meant it's time for trains!

Also got a ride on shed group to the station (much cheaper than Arriva) and then had a 350 to Leighton Buzzard.

A few days later I was in London, as 3 teams took on our own version of the hit show, Jet Lag!

We did lots of fun and silly challenges around zone 1 and it was a great day out!

Many thanks to @puddleuddle.bsky.social and @michaeldono.com for being brilliant teammates!

A couple of weeks later, I went on a Christmas outing with friends, which meant starting from Ricky and getting the first Chiltern of the day into London.

From there I got on the Oxford Tube to Lewknor, where a day on shed group awaits!

After we got to Carlisle, it was time for buses!

First off we went to Penrith, before getting a bus to Keswick (although it broke so we got the next one).

Our day ended in Keswick, so enjoy the pictures from there!

The next day we went out to the Pokémon Center at ExCel.

Susie was in her wheelchair so we took a longer route via Heathrow but it was a really fun day for us both!

Now for us to open the packs we got!

This morning we headed to Monument in Newcastle as it's time for the challenge.

Welcome to the 'Tyne Crossings Challenge'! Today's aim is to cross the River Tyne in 11 different ways in 6 hours or less.

Susie is my teammate, let's get going!

The following day was Susie's birthday!

We decided to have a venture out on her new chair before the batteries needed charging and we headed to East London!

We end up in Shoreditch and getting food, so where do we go next?

The following day, we went to Legoland! It's the first time in many years that I've been here, so let's get exploring!

I spent most of my time either on the log flume or at the model village!

After a fun morning on the railtour, we went to Waterloo and went on the new Bakerloop service while it was free!

It is a very nice route to Lewisham - now it's time for some more trains!

Hello from a bus, specifically the 54 to Newcastle.

By pure luck, this ticks off another crossing, and a difficult one at that!

Only a few buses use the swing bridge, but we're on one of them!

Now to decide our next move from Newcastle...

The following day, Susie and I went to Alexandra Palace to see Wunderhorse play.

Once I dropped Susie off at home, I had the mission of trying to get across London, with most trains finishing for the day.

Eventually I made it to Edgware and got picked up.

So, what do you have to do on this challenge?

You have to cross the following bridges by the method of transport listed on the screenshot below.

Could you do all of this in 6 hours?

Stay tuned to see how Susie and I did!
