    ’68 main rules with Spring Tide revisions circa ’72. Might be obvious but Dawlish Warren is out of bounds for the foreseeable which will make diagonals from Latimer impossible. Bus replacement service available once a black line move has been made. I’ll start:

    Richmond

    Bakerloo, avoiding the diagonals which could cause nip, but using arm flotation devices.

    Taxi?

    I remember when that was considered unsporting.
    You people disgust me.

    I saw some reprobates loitering around Baker Street and got scared. Won’t happen again.

    Wasn’t the transportation of eskimo roll discouraged under Mortimer’s Variations on Nidd…

    I don’t have a problem with an Eskimo roll at the start of a game. Scuba to Tower Hamlets

    Dragged by the coat tails of a Politicians Barbour to Camden Lock. Which is shut.

    Waterloo to Egham

    Walk from the station to the Floods

    Invoke the 1934 amendment for overland travel out of Zone 6

    Good work.

    Bus replacement service to Colindale. Charging my Oyster card at Hoburn, obviously.

    You know that the escalators aren’t working at Embankment = no interchange!
    Therefore – Boris Bike to Strand.

    Holburn?! I therefore invoke the the ‘Princess Louise’ sub-measure. Submarine to Mudchute

    At what point will CFH claim ‘in Nibb’ (when the rest of us who actually play the game all know it’s “in Nidd” 🙄 ).

    In a simple – yet many of you will no doubt see as highly strategic – move: Arnos Grove.

    Sidefact: Arnos Grove was briefly renamed Anal Groove in a disturbing turn of events during the late nineties.

    Using a zeppelin to get to Clapham Common, taking tiffin while on the way.

    Oi!
    Adam, you have to go up the junction if you’re playing Clapham Common.
    So you’re in Nidd.
    See the well known Difford v Tilbrook game of 1979 for clarification.

    I’m safe with Park Royal & Twyford Abbey, which I THINK may be untrumpable as 2014 isn’t a leap year.

    You can’t invoke post-flood rules in Mornington Crescent – there are no floods in London.

    Stop, stop, stop. Hold the game.

    Too obvious I’d say. Personally I’d have gone via Bank without stepping on any cracks in the pavement.

    Didnt have Zone 6 in 68 or 72 so I have no idea what rules we are playing under.

    Tiger6791

    From what I can tell we are still at Heathrow T2 in limbo. (Which is also T1 & T3!)

    So T1,T2 & T3 to Piccadilly Circus

    From what I can tell we are still at Heathrow T2 in limbo.

    really? I thought we were nearing Paddington on the overground.

    Plus you lose 6 points as Heathrow didn’t have T3 in 68.

    Quite right and no zone 6

    So…..

    Wildcard. ’68 Map Grid Rules
