And devise a route....
It's not all that easy devising a route, researching things, working out the OPTIMUM way to get round the whole network.
Also, you'd need to work out things such as getting to the start and getting back somewhere after, etc etc.
Good Luck

Yeah...and when I think of those things, especially remembering looking at your copy of the WTT, the words "Windows Live Messenger" and the urge to go on there and chat sets in

I've never done that but I will next time an opportunity arises.***** wrote:One of the weird things that still gets me about the tube challenge is the lame joke that I quite often do by pointing to a tube map, and say to someone 'See that? .. I've been there', indicating the whole of the system as I have - truthfully- been to every station.

Well if you wanna do a full network then that is one of the major hurdles you need to overcome!!

Re: Geoff Marshall - Tube 10 Attempt
What I can tell you is that he decided not to do Zone 1 first. He had no plans to do a full network attempt until about a week later.palkanetoijala31 wrote:Yes very Interesting seeing as he did it in on Zone 1 day and on May 17th he was suppossed to be Organiser looks like he wanted an excuse out of it. controversal!.Soup Dragon wrote:Seeing as Geoff is no longer a member on the forum anyone interested in reading about his 10th Attempt can read his write-up here:

You mean that he had no plans to do a full network but got in a hissy fit because someone had the good idea of organising a pub only 3 weeks beforehand because he hadnt organised anything.!.moley wrote:What I can tell you is that he decided not to do Zone 1 first.

MOLEY come on a moderator u might be but cut through the Bullshit The Tube Challengers on here might not be brave enough to say this but i speak my mind.
It was a dam right disgrace that Geoff left us in the lurch and what a fine job Tangy&RhubarbRhubarb did at such short notice.
I used to idolise Geoff no more in my mind Hakan and the Browns are more worthy of TUbe Challenge worship than r once fabled leader!Just my opinion seeing as a lot of people disagree with me i dont care.

Re: Geoff Marshall - Tube 10 Attempt
No one should be idolised.
It's crazy that people think Tube Challengers are worthy of worshipping! We used to be all after the same thing, the GWR, now I don't know what is going on. Times have changed and it's not good.
