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!

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!

If anyone is still awake and wants to tweet @stepfreetube and @AlansTweets some supportive and motivational messages as he gets so close to the end of his #SFTC - I encourage you to do so. He has been on the tube all day, I've lost count of the hours! #IDPD #IDPD2019

Is anyone still awake and following? @AlansTweets needs some moral support - tweet us your motivational messages!
