Given the inevitable travel chaos that 2cm of snow will cause I think it's time to dust off the option of public transport.

Tooting Broadway.

Given I've just watched an old Beastie Boys video, there's only one move I can play.

Brixton.

With winter sunshine and Donal o' Nuttersall on the loose - it can only be Willesden Green.

Expecting a recount on the Northern line back out, but so be it.

I was more thinking you're playing north of the diagonal at a weekend, which under the 1922 Berkeley rules would put you in huff...

And so we emerge, blinking in the post-huff sunshine and wondering whether our glorious game can survive in an increasingly uncertain world.

I'll tell you one thing that is for certain though:

Totteridge and Whetstone

A twelve year old still running crawling thread, is this a PH record?

Are you insane ? Only a fool would call Totteridge when the Earl of Gustavson Fifth Element is ascendance...madness I say, madness....

Up to Baker Street and then, using Humbartons third law...

Bingo...

...Blackfriars.

You called.....

A classy move, but the third law in the second quarter of the first year of the zero sum, intriguing...I'll go with it and play the expected riposte

Oh I didn't realise we were playing properly, thought it was a gentle introduction to some new comers or those crawling out of the primordial ooze.

Let's hightail it to a proper skill level.

Arriving at Bank it times to reverse the outer shuntings, slip on the spotted shirt of the Best Climber in the race and call "Get on the wheel" and with that take us to

Great Portland Street

Oh and bridges closed!

Now its a proper game

Aha! I now see your thinking......

Hmmm... I suggest that we bring the 73rd Regulation of South Armagh, skip the 16 edition, and allow all Barreltopian moves to become legal.

And with that in mind....

Marylebone.

LHR on a Wednesday night! Are you stark staring mad? Even Stovold himself never attempted that after old Thrumbleton-Bunce disintegrated himself and a chunk of the playing arena at Cockfosters while trying something similar.

I'm going to have to compromise my own position now by playing Woodside Park for all our sakes.
