Just stumbled across details of Geoff Marshall's forthcoming show at the London Transport Museum. Is this generally known about?

YES it is do you really want to pay money to see him though I think not!

I'm not going to pay £10 for someone to give me reasons to do tube challenging. I already have reasons.

What? I read the description - he's simply telling his story and giving people reasons to do the tube challenge. I have read his story on his website, and I already have my own reasons to do tube challenging, so logically I have no reason to go.

Where I credit Geoff with being responsible for most people tube challenging exploits. i can relate to what orange one is saying here he has his own reasons for tube challenging and at moment he has two records so he must be very good at it.
orange one in a short time has passed expectations and in future will probably surpass Geoff in tube legend status as I did in only such a short time.

Andi- we know your position, do you really have to state it every time Geoff is mentioned? It's rather tiresome to say the least.

Then perhaps the talk isn't aimed at people who know his story?

To be fair I don't think Geoff's talk is aimed at us. But if it brings more people to the tube challenge community then that has to be good.

Yes. Don't bite the hand that feeds you and all that.
Coincidentally, these are the first ten results when you Google "tube challenge" - with the speech marks.
- Wikipedia page: Originally created by Geoff
- Marc Gawley's attempt
- The forum: Domain name belongs to Chris Green/moley, who's part of Geoff's team
- Geoff's website
- Art on the Underground: This leads back to Andi's 2009 attempt
- BBC coverage of one of Geoff's attempts
- Londonist coverage of Geoff's second record
- The Tube Relief guide: written by Geoff
- Tangy's Top Times page
- Yet another Geoff Marshall interview

Geoff's taking the show to Edinburgh I believe, so it must have some sort of broader appeal I would have thought. You can use the ticket to get into the LT museum too I believe so even if it's rubbish it's not a total waste
