Birthday Royal Challenge

It's my birthday a month today, (2nd April) I'm not sure if this is enough notice, but I'd quite like to spend it tube challenging. Any of the midweek days in the Easter holidays should work for me too

I'm thinking that we could try the Royal Challenge...

King George V, Dalston Kingsland, Kingsbury, Barkingside, Barking, King's Cross St. Pancras, Queensway, Queen's Park, Walthamstow Queen's Road, Queens Road (Peckham), Queensbury, Royal Oak, Royal Albert, Royal Victoria, Park Royal, Prince Regent, Victoria.

These are all the Tube, DLR and Overground stations that reference royalty. Simply visit all of them by Tube, Overground, or DLR (or trains using the same rails) in the quickest time.

Similarly to the Posh challenge that was run last year, I propose that you may start from any station you like, between 12:00 and 12:30 on the day, with a meet up at the Horse and Groom on Great Portland Street afterwards. Again, the pub is flexible if people would rather meet elsewhere.

Any comments, suggestions, anything, please speak up

You're all invited. :)

Yes! Of course. I have been including it in my route planning but copied and pasted the pre-SLL list. You must visit QRP.

This could well be the hardest challenge I have attempted yet, judging from my route planning efforts so far!
