New idea for another challenge!

[Rhys1995]

After staring at a tube map for a certain amount of hours, I have come up with yet another idea for a challenge, and I call it 'The environmentally friendly challenge'!

Basically, you must visit every station (Tube, Overground and DLR included) with something to do with nature, or of the sort. Examples I came up with:

Willesden Green
Honor Oak Park
Greenwich
Carpenders Park
Becontree

Provisional list will be added to this thread later on if anyone is interested

I suspect that would be a very long challenge! The Park Challenge on its own takes a long time before you even start with the Greens and Woods and Gardens etc.

Agreed Parks is over 8 hours and I see that as with the "Posh" challenge we are spreading our wings out to DLR and Overground for these "new" alternative challenges...

This being the case you could "re-visit" the parks challenge with inclusion of a few more stations....

Tell me what you think

[snudge27]

1) Too long
2) Why the sudden obsession with adding in Overground and DLR stations?

You need to get out more.

[greatkingrat]

Might as well just do a full network!

[palkanetoijala31]

Might as well get him up to 260 stations at least.

like!

The ONLY reason to this over a full network is because Olympia is omitted. But, then again, this challenge would allow it to be visited by overground. Yes, there are a couple of extremities that are missing (Amersham and Chesham fork), but this is basically a full network with additional overground and DLR track to cover. There's nothing wrong with challenges that cover everything- but this doesn't cover everything, instead, being annoyingly close.

First route attempt comes in at 11 hours 59 minutes.

Appreciated a lot.

I have hunted for a topic raised a couple of years back which was for "The Countryside" challenge which was a similar idea but I believe excluded the "Parks" and DLR/Overground...
Does anyone else remeber/able to find this one??
