The "Points of the Compass" challenge was devised by Kevin Brown (Going Underground). To complete the task you must simply visit all 32 stations on the London Underground which contain North, East, South or West in the station name. A visit constitutes arriving or departing at a station by tube train, or by mainline trains sharing the same track. You may use public transport or run between stations if required. As an added twist you may wish to note the Compass co-ordinates of the stations visited.
