    Mornington Crescent

    This must be the only forum in the world without a game of MC going on; time to put that right. Anyone who doesn't know the rules - don't worry, you'll pick them up after a few moves.

    Since I'm kicking off and I'm in North London as I write, I call for play under the North London Rules (contraflows are inverted, and to avoid Triangulation, Dollis Hill will be wild.)

    OK then, off we go:

    BAKER STREET

    You can't go from Roding Valley to Piccadilly Circus, sorry! Try again...

    Edited to say: Pamela, sorry, of course you can do Roding Valley to Piccadilly Circus, obvious when you think about it.

    Who wants to take it on from there?

    I'm going to try a reverse move here:

    Turnham Green

    Stovold's says you can do that!

    We need an Adjudication here ESG - since the only way from Turnham Green to Muswell Hill is the now defunct furnical extension of the Northern Line.

    However, if we envoke the Scottish wormhole we CAN just get to Kelvin Bridge.

    Now we are somewhere sensible, I'll try Auchtermuchty Junction (might have caused a shunt). Oooooh

    Clever. Have some rep.

    ....and so to Warren Street (so near, and yet so far.)

    Sorry RK, our posts must have crossed, and as you'll know you can't do Warren Street directly Aldwych. So I propose

    Maida Vale
    Warren Street
    Loughton
    Aldwych

    and we should proceed from there.
