Given all the different challenges Mouse,Alphabet,Zone 1,Park,South of Thames,All lines and dlr i now propose a new one the k9

its border is Picc line from Kings cross to South Kensington and the circle line connecting South Kensington to Kings cross with 3 Central line stations and charing cross in between it looks similar to K9 from doctor who.

Adding new challenges was discussed some time ago but it was considered that we already had enough variety of "alternative" challenges available. With the Mouse and the Bottle they are restricted by the boundaries of one given line (Northern & Circle), whereas there is no limit to the number of shapes that you can make by using the boundaries of several lines. For example one such challenge suggested as a joke was the boot! Personally I would say that we have enough alternative challenges and the only ones that we should consider adding would be perhaps be London Overground & Croydon Tramlink

Can you do an example map like the "boot" shown above?

What was that challenge you mentioned to me once, Antony... the dragon, was it? Or the wizard? Something alone those lines anyway. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I remember it being based on a completely not obvious shape.

It was a zone 1 route which I called "The Griffin".
