A Recce to Barnet
Barnet is a surprisingly difficult club, as it lies between Aston Villa and Barnsley. So it’ll have to be done quickly on a trip between Euston and St. Pancras. In other words it’ll be two trips on the Northern line to High Barnet. I’d only ever been once before, when I was about seven to see Enfield play them with my father, but C as a child used to go regularly with her father, on their bicycles.
So to see how difficult it was, I took a trip from Euston to High Barnet and then back to St. Pancras. The times were as follows.
18:22 Left Euston
19:00 Arrived High Barnet
19:25 Left High Barnet
20:10 Arrived St. Pancras
So that short trip took just 12 minutes short of two hours.
It could be a bit quicker if soomeone was with me to hold the lights on Barnet Hill and get the platform right there. I got the wrong train out of High Barnet and had to wait for one at Camden Town, which probably cost 15 minutes.
At least the ground is well-signposted and easy to find, as these pictures show.
At least though the walk isn’t too difficult.
92 Clubs – A Recce to Ipswich
I had to go to Ipswich to have some pictures taken for the 92 Clubs challenge.
Here’s a few I took from Ipswich Station to the ground.
As the pictures were all taken from a similar position, it just shows how close the station and the ground are.
