    Hmm    are you sure that was from Mrs Trellis of North wales.  To me it sounds more like someone from The Land of Moving Curtains which, as everyone knows is Cwmafan in Neath, Port Talbot,  and thus still in West Wales, or is it Mid Wales  somewhere over there ← anyway.

    I've had a notification from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales. She says To whom it may concern, I'm keeping a careful eye on proceedings, you're all walking a very fine line. Should you cross that line I shall have no alternative but send Daffyd and the boys "to have a word" Without prejudice Mrs Trellis

     

     

    Definitely Mrs Trellis. I guessing in a morning before she's had a cup of tea and a couple of Woodbines.

    Ah,  yes  possibly,

    Excellent ! So I can now hop on the little-known de Havilland Dragon Rapide connecting flight to...

    That seems to have left people rather flummoxed ! smiley

    Aye, well then the only proper way back onto the network, using the Chester option would be....

    Tower Gateway > Euston > Banc > Charing Cross > Harlesden > Eliffant a Castell > Capel Gwyn (Whitechapel) > Baching > Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch > Shepherd's Bush > B(r)econ[tree] (Beacons) >  Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) > Angel > Heathrow Terminal 5 >Llandudno Junction

    Amersham

    Clogwyn

    good   move.   Lovely view from there 

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    As no one else wants to post the next move  I think we may as well take the leisurely and scenic route and vist a beautiful little village  named after the grave of a dog

    According to Stovalds Trellis variations, with the Burton option... the only logical move is then:

    Tower Gateway > Euston > Banc > Charing Cross > Harlesden > Eliffant a Castell > Capel Gwyn (Whitechapel) > Baching > Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch > Shepherd's Bush > B(r)econ[tree] (Beacons) > Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) > Angel > Heathrow Terminal 5 >Llandudno Junction > Amersham > Clogwyn> Beddgelert >

    I have one of they.    You will see now that it was Snwpdorgg y Dorgg  who reminded me about the  Crwssynt Morgantonio Llwdiu variation

    Seeing as its Friday the 13th, and the moon is in the 8th house, and I've rolled a double 6, the Brunel appendium allows for a second move.. Forthwith, then!

    what is wrong with BeddGelert?   It is a lovely little place   and it does have a station.   but it keeps getting left out of the list.

    It's in self isolation.

    And now to really throw the game wide open by setting things up for a TARDIS manoevre...

    Hmmm... I see that Mornington Crescent is on the list.
    This could make things awkward...

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    They can't do that.    The Mornington Crescent Club needs to complain to the Government.   Mrs Trellis needs to pen a missive to BoJo  asking him to name an temporary substitute for Monrington Crescent for the interim period.

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,029

    Well, by the powers invested under the new Trellis act, I propse we  temporarily use the phantom tube station South Kentish Town as a decent interim goal..

    I've read the entire thread, I think.  I'm sorry, I haven't a clue!

    We just need a certain amount of subtlty, subterfuge, and guile. For example, I'm sure Samantha could distract the watchers on the station long enough for the team to score.

    Subtlety, subterfuge, and guile, eh ? We can do that...

     

    P.S. Regarding the next move, i.e. from Caerdydd Canolog, I've just thought - perhaps Hobbs End* (via a TARDIS manoevre to Mars several aeons ago of course - that should bypass the watchers).

    *For anybody who's uncertain, that's the one in the 1967 movie .

    I forgot that using a TARDIS manoevre doesn't break the 'no person can make two consecutive* moves' rule, so I can do this:

    Tower Gateway > Euston > Banc > Charing Cross > Harlesden > Eliffant a Castell > Capel Gwyn (Whitechapel) > Baching > Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch > Shepherd's Bush > B(r)econ[tree] (Beacons) > Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) > Angel > Heathrow Terminal 5 >Llandudno Junction > Amersham > Clogwyn> Beddgelert > Pontrhydyfen > Llanwrtyd Wells > Caerdydd Canolog [Cardiff Central]

    Hobbs End

     

    *with a TARDIS manoeuvre of course, the entire concept of 'consecutive' becomes meaningless

    Correct... although the devil's in the detail.

    I'd suggest a quick read through Encyclopaedia Mane Oppidum Via Curvatis - for a novice volumes 1 through 27 should suffice.

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,029

    Ah, the Quatermass gambit! Well played.. the only logical move, using the little grey cells would then be:

    Tower Gateway > Euston > Banc > Charing Cross > Harlesden > Eliffant a Castell > Capel Gwyn (Whitechapel) > Baching > Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch > Shepherd's Bush > B(r)econ[tree] (Beacons) > Pontarfynach (Devil's Bridge) > Angel > Heathrow Terminal 5 >Llandudno Junction > Amersham > Clogwyn> Beddgelert > Pontrhydyfen > Llanwrtyd Wells > Caerdydd Canolog [Cardiff Central] > Hobbs End

    yeah that was posted after I did, I had no idea where to share this sad news, while I was unfamiliar with this radio show I knew TBT well from the Goodies and was rather fond of him growing up broken heart
