Anti-Circle Line Challenge
Has anyone ever tried it?
(Rules etc)
How long would it take roughly?

I suppose the answer should be "no Circle line stations at all" BUT you have to do the stations INSIDE the Circle line (Oxford Circus etc).
Which only allows us a number of "entry and exit points" into the middle of the Circle line:
Northern or Victoria lines southbound from Euston to Warren Street.
W&C or DLR into Bank is allowed if you maintain that Monument is a separate station.
National Rail to Charing Cross or Marylebone.
If you're not allowing any station that has a platform used by Circle line trains then Angel and Old Street will be interesting. You'd have to run/bus to one of them, go to the other one by train and then run/bus somewhere else again!
Paddington H&C station is contentious - it is shown as separate but is part of Paddington complex. Would you need to (or be allowed to) do it?
Lots of doubling back needed at the last station before the Circle line stations on some lines so this makes for a very interesting challenge, but can it be done in one day?

As the Circle Line challenge requires you to do all stations on and within the line, the opposite of this should therefore mean that you are forbidden to go along or inside the line at all.
Unless this makes for a new spin-off - doing all stations apart from the ones actually on the Circle Line. Interesting...

I was basing it on this:
<I>As has 'The anti-Circle line challenge' .. you have to do all the stations, but not including the ones inside the Circle Line. A more extreme version of this is that you have to do all the stations not including the ones inside the Circle Line - without even going inside the Circle Line!
</I>
So its more of an outer london challenge i think. Id guess you can visit circle line stations to better position yourself but you dont't have to

An anti-Piccadilly challenge? Would this mean you didn't have to (or weren't allowed to) visit stations e.g. KXSP, Holborn, Leicester Square as well as intermediate stations such as Russell Square, Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge?
If you didn't have to do stations Rayners Lane to Uxbridge on the Met then how would West Ruislip be done?

You try arriving at or departing from West Kensington, without stopping at any Piccadilly Line stations!
