Oh I've seen much more daft things than that being done! Well done to
them though, can't say it's something I'd ever want to do. I would
however want to visit one or two of the disused stations but LTM have
not done any visits since 2000.

Why? It's exercise... like ice-skating, but a lot more physically demanding
and with more varied scenery.

Anyway, respect to the guy - to beat it is something, but to beat it by 43
minutes! Wow.

One of the previous holders was a contestant on "Countdown" recently!

Shame you see it that way. It's quite an achievement, maybe not on the
global scale of things, but it's certainly good exercise!

Congratulations to Geoff: I know he's been after this for a while. His
website (http://www.geofftech.co.uk/) details all his previous
attempts. I think if someone's achieved their ambition, you shouldn't
knock it.

"But they finished so late - 0005 BST - that they could not take a
Tube home and had to hire a minicab."

What did they expect?

If they do try Paris, is it a greater or lesser challenge than London?
