Hangover Buster - Monopoly Walk ("Vine St Revisited"), Sunday 1st January 201718 walkers, 13 miles - leader Susanne Waldschmidt
You have been stopped by a New Year Parade and will have to miss 10 goes
Amazingly in spite of weather 18 Monopoly enthusiasts showed up. The toilets in Marylebone Station proved a revelation. Obviously Network Rail had heard about my walk. The walk was as challenging as any in the moors. Cowboys, Indians, nomadic Arabs and scantily clad cheer-leaders (had no-one told them it sometimes rains in England) impeded our progress and we failed completely to reach Northumberland Avenue, but luckily we managed to get to Vine Street over and over again. Then the heavens opened and we arrived cold and wet at the Electricity Board where hot coffee, flashing lights and modern art revived us. It did all prove a bit too much for some but 10 stalwarts battled it out to the bitter end to commemorate the Mr Moneybags Award to Colin in The Parcel Yard of Kings Cross Station. A very enjoyable walk. Once again LDWA Camaraderie had won the day and defeated the elements.
