How I got interested in the whole Tube Challenging thing...
...and all because of this program which I rediscovered on Youtube last night...
Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6NdODwp ... ideo_title
Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrS0HFc8 ... ure=relmfu
I used to love this program when it was shown on the telly, suppose I could say it's what really kick-started my whole interest in the railways...

Actually, I think Geoff's most recent attempt was the first time that I heard him agree on the day to doing it again....
