Time to employ the reverse Rushton and block that then takes us to Saint Andrews Road .
Parallel move to South Bank - one of the few banks remaining open

The obvious tactic at this point is to use the Reverse Klempermann Shuffle, so: Penryn.

Time for me to employ The Mortimer and Whitehouse variant , and without fishing for compliments I present to you Taunton.
In which case I'll invoke Klemperer's Baton gambit and strike a diagonal to Totnes.
Too predictable?

Early in the round I know,however using the Armitage Shanks gambit ,I see your Dawlish Warren,and raise you Bridgwater.

I'll give you a starter of Bude - from GWR's virtual branch lines.

Mornington Crescent is a game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" (ISIHAC). The game consists of each panellist in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a tube station on the London Underground system. The ostensible aim is to be the first to announce "Mornington Crescent", a station on the Northern line.

Since few of us visit Mornington Crescent on a frequent basis, we'll play the West Country version with an aim to end up at Pilning.
