When I played support to Geoff (& Neil til 8pm) for Tube 8 we did it in February and it was crazy. Very cold, icy pavements and the potential for more weather related problems than in the summer.

Contrast this with Tube Relief where everyone was running round in shorts and T-Shirts at 5am!

Consider your date carefully.

This is also extended to the track and systems of London Underground especially the end Amersham end of the Met at 5.30am.

Nothing worse than getting off to a bad start due to frozen points.

Anyway good luck with the planning.

isn't this just another way of starting the 'Shall we do Tube Relief 2006' argument?

I hope I haven't just started it now...

^Lol, quite probably.

Remember there are leaf fall timetables from October through January every year for zones A-D.

Otherwise, I think it's fine that you're doing it but I probably won't come along. I'm already doing a challenge for charity later this month, so it would probably be quite difficult to raise money from all my contacts twice in such a short period of time.

Then again, if there are going to be lots of people doing it, I wouldn't want to miss out.

I'll have to think about this one and see how the discussion pans out.

In order to avoid any unnecessary confusion, do you think you could put something on your front page linking to this website?

Thanks.

I think Neil meant something like"If you are looking for the history of the Tube Challenge and its community, click here to go to tubechallenge.com"...

That's exactly what I meant.

Someone may accidentally type .co.uk instead of .com or find it in a Google search instead.
