The long version is shrouded in mystery and there are many variations on it.. the short version is that the ride is believed to be cursed (dodgy trains, dubious participants, navigation/route confusion and, as a result, arguments) and once almost led to the demise of TNRC.
This is despite being a VERY firm favourite of Howrad's, and actually a damn fine route when the curse is kept at bay.
There is usually a sharp intake of breath whenever it is suggested and we agree to do Potter's Bar or WGC instead..
