The anti-tube challenge

[Norm]

Morning all,

I was wondering if anyone had ever considered challenge 4 on Geoff's alternative challenges page.

Sounds like a mission and a half, and with thousands of routes available it would always be open to new record attempts...

Good God, it's past 2am - this tube relief event has got me hooked

Cheers,
Norm.

Actually, myself and Geoff are going to do it ourselves when we get a spare moment.

However, with so much stuff coming up in the next few months, it's hard to see where it will fit in.

We'll let you know if we ever do it.

Indeed. There are plans afoot - it's just a matter of fitting it in. It probablu would have happened in late August had it not been for the bomb thing subsequent charity run ...

The more I think about it, the more I realise that simply completing the overground challenge is the challenge - doing it at all rather than beating anyone.

It would be interesting to have more than one person/group looking to do it though, that extra buzz of competition.

I won't be trying myself until next spring, I reckon. I'm flat out at work, and I live in Scotland (annoyingly having decided these challenges are a Good Idea comes comes 4 months after moving out of the capital), and am about to move house. Test runs are expensive...

Might try some Scottish challenges, assuming there's some others out there that want to take them on. Can't help thinking that this viewpoint can become a way of life...

I'd like to do the overground and the scottish challenges, although judging by my current circumstances the scottish one doesn't look possible for the next couple of years and the overground tube challenge is a possibility.
