Can I have an 'M' please bob?

Blockbuster Challenge for the jonnys....

Many an afternoon of our youth was spent watching bob whats-his-face in what is surely one of the greatest quiz shows of all time. Alright probably not. Either way, many an afternoon will be taken up in this challenge:

In this version, the first person to get both vertical and horizontal lines wins.

In this version, there are no questions

In this version, bob doesn't exist

In this version, the globe is your 'letter grid'

Rules:
Valid End Points:
Vertical:
>(North):Canada, Greenland, Russia
>(South): Argentina/Chile, South Africa, New Zealand (Thought i'd save us the trip to the south pole)
Horizontal:
This is much harder. In the horizontal challenge, the line of countries visited must meet up!!

Obviously there will be huge dodgyness in terms of crossing oceans, especially on the east west routing. The only way this can be ruled is surely by using Risk as our guide! Therefore, going from south america, can only go to North America or north west africa. You know the score.

Here are a couple of examples of winning routes:

Just to clarify, the idea is not to do the routes all in one go. Its more like "I've done oz this year, I did china in 2001, so gotta try and do russia" that kind of thing.

Here's the point...There isn't really one. The inspiration for the post was that i was lookin at a world map and it some how looked like the blockbuster board when i coloured in some of the countries. As a result decided to post it, but ridic nego respo so far (what a phrase!) so looks like me and bob will go and play by ourselves...
