As a sequel to last time's brain bash... just with maybe a bit of added difficulty.
I start at a station in the borough of Enfield.
I change in Zone 1 and head northbound again. I don't have a clue for where I change after this, but somebody else might...
I go above the surface, and take a stroll down the road to a station with distinctively tiled platforms.
I take a different route to that I was headed for when I arrive at this station.
After several stops on this route, I disembark, and take a walk to another station. From here, I catch an Overground train.
When I change next, I take a line with non-mechanical ATP (in other words, tripcockless) northbound. I alight after 6 stations, and catch another train.
6 stations after this, I change again. I travel 3 stops towards the centre of the map and reach my destination.
Person who matches my route and destination score the points.

Are you using purely the tube or is any part of the journey on NR?

Overground is used with and without mention of it being such, but no true NR.

Here' my 2d-worth....
There are several staions in the London Borough of Barnet (as oposed to the old (Chipping) Barnet (Herts) which had none) but they are all on the Northern Line,so makes no odds.
You go south and then change to a Northbound Piccadilly...."Someone else" might suggest you alight at Arsenal where it's not far to stroll to Finsbury Park with its distinctive tiled platforms (though,to be honest,this aplies to many Picc deep level platorms).
You take a S/B Picc to Caledonian Rd and walk to the Overground,not far away.
You get off at Finchley Rd (Frognal) and catch a N/B Jubilee to Wembley Park.
Then I unravel a bit,as I'm not sure of the stopping patterns of the Met,which you then catch.
But say you take an Uxbbridge,this gets you to Rayner's Lane,three stops back gives you Sudbury Town.

You'd be wrong; there are other stations in the borough of Barnet than the Northern!
You're completely wrong with the entire route, unfortunately.

If you are talking only Underground and LO stations,they are all on the Northern line...Southgate and Arnos Gtove are (in Southgate's case by just a few hundred feet) in Enfield LB....there are stations on NR lines (GN,Midland etc.) but I thought you had ruled those out... |

Cockfosters is in Barnet!
Well, the south entrance and the station are.
There is a sign in front of the bus stand on the north side denoting the boundary of Enfield.
Wikipedia says it's in Enfield, but I stand by my earlier statement!

I hadn't considered Cockfosters as it is well into Enfield....the boundary is well to the West of Cockfosters Road....
I concede being wrong on the rest,though....

Right, so I'll offer a couple of clues.
The starting station is already named as Cockfosters (if you didn't get that, go and facepalm.)
Next, I change at an all deep-level station, no SSR or NR.
I'll see what you can come up with from there.

And having thought a bit more I'll go for the following (probably wrong, but...)
Cockfosters > Leicester Square (Zone 1) > Mornington Crescent (You haven't a clue) > Camden Town (bright blue tiles) > Hampstead (several stops / different branch) > Hampstead Heath (Overground) > Blackhorse Road (Non Mech ATP) > Euston (Six stops) > Tottenham Court Road (Three stops centre)? Destination is TCR?
Only a wild guess as I have far too much time on my hands!

Naaarp.
And the station I go to isn't Mornington Crescent.

Hmm, okay, I'll make it a little easier again.
My hint for the second-to-last step is arches, and this might give you a hint towards how to route yourselves.
