Mornington Crescent

[DerekC]

That's a very clever move which clearly aims to leave the way open for Hasslebanger's "Approach Direct" in the next round. There is only one possible way to save the situation. Knightsbridge

Ah so that’s your strategy. I’m going to hang a left and say Hanger Lane!

 

[Ostrich]

In which case I shall invoke Logan's Run and make a dystopian move to Brent Cross.

 

[DerekC]

Hmm - hold on while I consult the Almanac. OK - next high tide at Tower Bridge 6.26m AOD at 17:21 GMT today. So taking into account the RA of Venus (18h 24m 59s) and applying the Schrodinger factor we get an unequivocal pointer to .... High Barnet.

 

[Loppylugs]

After a hard day's work at High Barnet, me and me old mate Andy Mann are off for a jar or two at Royal Oak.

 

[Ashley Hill]

By the Power of Greyskull I shall say Greenwich Peninsula

 

[DarloRich]

ThunderCATFORD ho!

 

[InkyScrolls]

As it is a Thursday, that move can only be followed by a long hop to Walthamstow Central. If you find that hard to believe, I suggest you reread chapter four of Cressington Mornent (Beard et al., 1944).

 

[Ashley Hill]

By the power invested in me I now pronounce you Totteridge & Whetstone

 

[Loppylugs]

Taking a trundle on the Northern line and carefully avoiding you-know-where, I alight at Old Street.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Excuse me - but would that not leave you dangerously close to Nip?

 

[Loppylugs]

On second thoughts, you're probably right. I'll continue on to see dear old granny at South Wimbledon.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Just so. From there the most sensible (some may say over cautious) move is to South Kensington.

 

[Trackman]

Next move is easy and topical, dunno about double points though .. White City

 

[Ashley Hill]

Well as I’m walking backwards for Christmas,Shepherd’s Bush.

 

[DerekC]

The bush is probably quite handy for the shepherds to hang their socks on when washed. They were presumably abiding at London Fields.

 

[Purple Train]

I shall play the Statistical Exceptions wildcard and pick up three brownie points and a large flock of sheep. Pimlico.

 

[Spamcan81]

By the method of using the LU map as a dartboard, I alight at Epping.

 

[htafc]

By similar advanced means, I make the move to Barbican.

 

[Loppylugs]

Nostalgia time for me. I'm re-tracing my old courting days area of East Putney.

 

[Purple Train]

East Putney? East Putney? That seems like either the move of an evil genius or a novice. I shall assume that you are an evil genius rather than a novice and play Greenford, using the Italianate Quadrant.

 

[InkyScrolls]

I didn't want to say anything but East Putney did seem a rather brave move.

Using Ordbjörg's Rule I shall head all the way over to Amersham.

 

[DerekC]

That's an even more courageous move at this stage in the game, but you may have got away with it. However I think it would be wise to move on as quickly as possible in case there are some aftershocks. The deepest station on the network is, I believe, Hampstead. Let's pause there for a bit and see what happens.

 

[Ashley Hill]

Now we’re on a roll,Swiss Cottage.

 

[306024]

Some could consider that a Craven move (nothing personal you understand).

This game is fast becoming Barking

 

[Ashley Hill]

Its cold and I’m feeling the need to go somewhere warm. East India.

 

[DerekC]

Clever! But perhaps a little too hot for me.

Grumbley's "Rule of Seven" allows a number of options here, but the precedents set in the Great Game of 1964 suggest strongly that the next move should be to something connected with the monarchy. King George V appears obvious, but on balance I prefer Dagenham East.

 

[Purple Train]

I hate warm places. Despite this I have somehow ended up in Cyprus.

 

[Ashley Hill]

To fly from there London City Airport.

 

[Spamcan81]

As I need to plan future moves, I shall bide a while in leafy Theydon Bois.
