  • The least confusing the better... so, er...

J1: Catch the train from Southend Victoria to Southend Airport, and enter the terminal building.

J2: You sink into the mud, and decay over the next 2,000 years. Game over.

J3: As Aer Lingus needs to re-locate a plane (for some unknown reason), you stowaway on a flight from Gatwick to Southend Airport, and enter the terminal building.

Somehow, (and no-one knows quite how), in the terminal building, J1 and J3 re-combine...

Ah, Option 3. I was hoping you would pick that.

You get on an easyjet flight to Edinburgh quickly before they stop running them.

You take the 23:40 Sleeper service to London Euston. Upon arriving the next day at 06:48, you stumble around London waiting for a Whetherspoons to open for breakfast. You realise that spending 7hrs locked in a train toilet was not the best way to get back into town

You stay well away from St. Pancras International. You eventually stumble across the Zone One Wine Bar and Restaurant (yes, this exists!) next to Euston Square Station.

After spending 33 days in this wine bar and restaurant, you incur a £15000 bill which you tactfully say 'Send it to John Terry!' The waiter, not knowing who the Chelsea player is says 'No problem, have a good day!' so you slip out not paying a thing. The sunlight hurts your eyes so you make your way to Euston Square, and hop on an S-Stock to Baker Street. When you get on the train you see a banana, with the skin still on protecting the banana inside, you therefore bend down, pick it up and eat it. You get off at Baker Street, and stupidly discard the skin on the floor which leads to, of all people Barry Chuckle who tries to get on the Hammersmith bound train to slip up and fall over, poor Barry! You're none the wiser as you're already on your way to the Bakerloo Line and head southbound. At Oxford Circus, I get on, we catch up and I say that I'm off to Waterloo. You follow me up to Waterloo.

At Waterloo, Rhys (hopeful traveller) turns up with ten hulking bodyguards. Apparently, they are a gift from David Cameron, because Rhys saved his (Cameron's) life when he failed to mind the gap at Bank when boarding the Central Line. The bodyguards lock you up in a cage, and Rhys gleefully tells you that you couldn't escape if you wanted to. The other Rhys (Rhys1995) successfully escapes onto the Waterloo and City Line.

You're then thrown onto an SWT service to Guildford, when the train arrives at Guildford, no other than Jeremy Clarkson sees you, gets onto the carriage, laughs and then sets you free. He then offers you a lift, driven by The Stig to where they film Top Gear and appear on the show as the 'Star in a reasonably priced car'. You complete the lap in 1.46.5 seconds.

After heading round the track, you escape in your "reasonably priced car" all the way down the A281 to the end at Dale Hill (near Pycombe), where you pop into the Car Repairs shop.

N.B. You have now acquired a Reasonably Priced Car. You are also now on the run from Jeremy Clarkson.

You then drive to Horsham, and park the Reasonably Priced car in Parking Bay 69 at the station. You giggle to yourself.

... you mysteriously forget how to swim. The river picks you up and carries you as far as Arundel.

You dry off with a walk round the castle, then downhill to the station to hop on a southbound train, getting off at Barnham.
