As I am sick and tired of all the secrecy around full network attempts these days, I thought I would state that Matthew, Al and I will be going out to get attempt to get the record on Monday 26th September! Chesham start, Heathrow finish.

Geoff was challenged to a race but I think he's too scared of the competition

I'd love to take you on for a race on the 26th, but I don't think I can get out of a commitment for that day. I was also planning my next attempt for sometime that week, or even possibly the week before, but at the moment am holding back slightly on confirming the date. I'm a bit worried that last week's effort has aggravated a long-standing knee injury which means I may need to cut back my plans for challenges this autumn to allow time for it to setttle.

Anyway I admire your openness, I do believe that tube challenging is also a great spectator sport (from the comfort of monitoring a Twitter feed). In my view, the key to a good route is exactly how you join up the various bits - it's not about knowing what order you happen to do particular extremities. Anyway a good challenger has to be flexible to change according to circumstances on the day. Too much secrecy just leads to suspicion.

Once I've decided when I'm going out again I'll let you all know.

I'm affriad that some of our ("Geoff's") team are on holiday on that date - otherwise I'm sure we'd have been up for a race.

It's ok, there is no need to get defensive. I was merely having a laugh.

Something that seems frowned upon these days on this board by some

Sam, that was a perfectly normal response by moley. Don't try to make it into something it wasn't.

Neil, that was a perfectly normal response by Sam. Don't try to make it into something it wasn't.

(I'm joking)

Is it me, or are people starting to fall out with each other over what is essentially the pointless activity of travelling on the London Underground?

I feel I know where a lot of this negativity started, and I am frankly bemused as to how it's got to a certain level of bickering.

Come on people, let's just calm it down a bit, or you'll make me cry.

I completely and whole-heartedly agree with this.

Seconded Neil dont Cry i have to come and give u a hug and you wouldnt want that

Neil, my post was not a dig at Moley. I was joking with him....!!!

Meh, sometimes I wonder what the point of this forum is anymore.

I'm sure we all wonder what the point of this forum is sometimes.

No one is compelled to open it in their web browser. If you're that bothered by it then do what Geoff and Andi did and go off in a huff and er, never come back.

It provides a vehicle to converse with awesome people like me, of course!

That'll do as a reason for it to exist!

That's it, I'm leaving...
