I wanna be the top hat!

No, the boat!

No, wait, the car!

Tophat!

I recon Ma3k will be first to go directly to jail! :D

Maybe we could ride to all the cop shops in london!

Then again maybe not!

lol

I shall be joining you in a top hat.

There will be duplicates... with that in mind I'll start the duplicates. I always wanted an excuse to purchase one.

Maybe we could go to all the cop shops in london!

Then again maybe not!

lol

You'll be pleased to know it's in the calendar already.

That's a top idea, except the going to jail bit. God knows where a water works is.

Ending at Old Kent Road not Park Lane. Yloponom. Better chances of getting beer there than in mayfair.

there is a beer crawl course with Q's that i've found. will 26 stops be too much??!?

There are big water works up towards Tottenham, but that may be a bit far for this ride.

Greenlanes has a waterworks. It's finding "free parking" in London that will be difficult

I recon you should try n taylor in a few excusions from central by maybe going from Angel Islington to Stoke Newingto reservoirs (Water works) n Holloway Prison (Jail) and/or over to Battersea power station (electricity co.)

Otherwise it will be red light after red light.


Oopps, bit slow.

this is what i'm planning ;) , but 26 odd stops will take a while :(

Is it too early for a list?

http://www.londonfgss.com/discussion/480/monopoly-pub-crawl/#Item_37

Yorgo should be Le Car.
Mrs Mouse can be the Old Boot.

We should think about challenges or whatever at key stops.

Leave out the stations and I reckon you've got a good route...

Gah, can we change the date? Tis my birthday.

A list! A list!

We should do it in the afternoon, evening, and night... it's a long route.

i think for the sake of mentality we need the extra parts like waterworks or electric.

JOL tis the luck of the draw, with 1000's of members, we can't please everyone. it was my birthday on the docklands ride ;)

velocity boy, it will be bad enough in the evening let alone in the arvo. time stands :p

i will try to draw a map - longish route to satisfy all with a mini tt and i think a hill climb stage is in order as well - optional of course

Niceone Tommy ;]

Someone needs to make some Chance cards...

Definitely up for this. Gotta be themed with fancy dress etc and perhaps this time we could record the journey with some photos. Nice to look back.

No Slamm meant no photos.

I did bring my new camera out but forgot to snappy snap!

don't bother, i've started already look at first post ;) . plus this is going to be relatively short and more social :)

He wrote French Revolutions, where he cycled the TdF route. Really cool book. I've added Do Not Pass Go to my wishlist coz it sounds just as funny.
Nice one.
