AIBU to let them camp on an island overnight?

[chomalungma]

(Inspired by another thread)

We are on holiday in the Lake District. Lovely cottage. DH is working away. DC's have seen a lovely island and want to go camping there for a few nights. Light a campfire, cook for themselves. They'll get there by sailing boat. Youngest is 6 and oldest is 14.

Would you let them go?

@Witchend

Isn't Chalk Farm if you're playing the navigation variation?

No.

Rules of the thread contributions imply one stop short of Barking.

Much like most AIBU threads, then.

Philistines, I thought we were all at a level where the Tudor Court Rules could be played by all.

I suppose we can allow the odd duffer, if they can cross the Thames, so lets sort the duffers out - London Bridge.

You need the land owners permission to will camp anywhere in the Lake District

Could we have a special rule that we get a free up-and-over whenever yet another plonker who hasn't read any of the thread arrives?

Lancaster Gate

At the relevant time that would have been John Montagu Douglas Scott, 7th Duke of Buccleuch.

Well that will clearly be a yes then. Monument.

The game of MC now being played was responsible for the dream I had last night in which I was totally failing to navigate the new third branch of the Northern Line North of Camden Town. It was most distressing. Especially in that as I can't remember the names of any of the new, fictional stops I can't bring them in to a fantasy version of MC.

It was a R4 mash-up dream as during my troubles on the tube I spotted Sharon Horgan, aka the most recent guest on DID that I have heard.

(Sneaks in ready to lob hand grenade.....)

Dollis Hill!

(Evil laugh)

I assume we're playing the Duke of Buccleuch Protocol, though, in the circumstances? In which case, Latimer Road...

Monument

Bank.

(Playing under the "Will not Drown" variation)

Duke of Buccleuch London residence manoeuvre. Whitehall.

Sneaky, @missclimpson.

Manor House.

Chalfont and Latimer

YYY to Erskine Childers and Riddle of the Sands. It was said to help the War Office prepare the East Coast against invasion ... and then we went and shot the author for Fenian sympathies.

Anyone here read the Green Knowe books? set in yet more watery countryside with children left to their own devices which is a mandatory theme in some of the best children's literature.

Wembley Park (tacking under S&A rules)

Swiss Cottage

Wow ErrolTheDragon you answered the callsign within eight minutes last night! And properly, not the Daisy way

I'm assuming for the S&A-inspired Mornington Crescent, all stations on the (Great) Northern line are wild (cats)?

@crosstalk, Childers was executed by the brand-new Free State government after it imposed martial law, when everything got extremely dicey after Michael Collins's death, which made people want reprisals. Unfortunately, he'd pissed off large numbers of people by having helped negotiate the Treaty, then becoming vehemently opposed to the final draft and disowning it, even though the reason for his arrest was illegally carrying firearms. He should never have been killed.

Very cool last words, and getting his teenage son, who later ended up President of Ireland, to agree to find and shake hands with everyone who'd signed his death sentence is a very stylish move.

I must reread Riddle of the Sands!

Pemmicanning Town

Secret Waterloo

Mudchute (and then on to Swainson's farm for knickerbocker darning)

Oh, well played.

And of course they would know to always shut a Moorgate.
