Challenge complete. Sponsored by Coke and Codeine. All the details over on @stepfreetube. Thanks to @QuinnTBear who stuck with me all the way.

Those classy #SFTC activists @AlansTweets and @DrJonHastie (with excellent social mediaring from @stepfreetube) have COMPLETED the challenge!

They are still working out the timings. But a major feat involving amazing amounts of planning, logistics and assistance bookings etc!

[Step Free Tube Challenge @stepfreetube]

@natalyadell @AlansTweets @DrJonHastie Why thank you! 😊

[Step Free Tube Challenge @stepfreetube]

The results are in and calculations have been made...

@DrJonHastie completed his section of the route in 10 hours 5 minutes.

@AlansTweets completed his section in 11 hours and 18 minutes.

That makes our final total time for the SFTC completion 21 hours and 23 minutes!
