Our
Witness Log
According to the
response from Guinness, for the purposes of verifying any claim, the a
Witness Book must be provided:
Any attempt must take
place in view of the public, wherever possible, and a book made
available for independent witnesses to sign. The book should
be set up so that the following details can be included for each
potential witness: Date, time, location, name, signature.
For solo and
unsupported attempts, we appreciate that it might not be possible to
gain an unbroken line of witnesses, but one should try to obtain as
many as possible. For an attempt that is supported by a backup team,
we would expect it to be possible to gain sufficient numbers of
independent witnesses to enable verification for the entire duration
of the attempt. Where possible, local dignitaries and police should
be sought to sign the book.
We have decided not
to publish our final route as that was the largest contributing
factor to our highly successful journey. A combination of
deep knowledge of the subway system along superb computer modeling
work yielded a highly optimal route. We wouldn't want
another team to simply take our route, make the same ride without
any bad luck and wind up bettering our record by a few
minutes. For that reason we have blurred out the station
locations where each witness signed our witness log.
