As a suggested twist that has the benefit of slowing Andi down, how about doing an R15 in randomly drawn pairs, with pairs having to do the challenge as a three-legged race? :lol:

Or how about one where Zones 4 - 6 are where the stations are drawn from, but you can still go into Zones 1, 2, and 3.

The all lines twist is good, but I think it is too soon to use it again.

I like the closed stations twist, but it might be better to save it for a day when there are more closed stations!

If it makes sense, could 2 twists be combined? Such as NR and 1-4?

The problem is I might support each of those twists individually, but not support them combined because I think it would make the challenge far too long.

As 15 from 20 can't be combined with 2 x envelopes how about 7 from 10 in both envelopes :idea: In effect the first envelope is 7 from 10 rather than 8 as the starting station if already known.....

Also another idea once the envelope is opened you have to visit them alphabetically

Won't that just mean everyone has virtually the same route?

Possibly but I imagine the way our minds tick it might not happen, it could be a tadge lengthy though as well......

15 out of 20 and Z1-6 would be interesting. At least you could get rid of the Eppings and Ken Os off the list.
