Also, I think we've been rumbled.

Geoff and I are indeed planning another effort but it won't be happening until next Spring. What I can tell you is that we're working on starting somewhere other than Amersham. And that's all I'm giving away!

"Tube Olympics". Good god, i'm not sure I want to know.

Neil & Geoff /were/ indeed going to go next spring, but they'd decided to keep it quiet and definitely not tell anyone about the possible non-Amersham start. Then Neil comes on here and tells everyone? Duh. Geoff not so keen to do it now - at all.

Am I so completely out of the loop that I missed my old home town becoming the new de facto starting point for Tube Challenging? I must investigate.
