People who have that badge, do you travel by car/train to visit new zones or are they all achieved with home as your start point?

Went for a walk along the beach yesterday which resulted in exploring 4 new (to me) zones. This one was unexplored though so now I own it! It made me smile when I saw the map

CW - I’m an avid explorer but I have a rule for myself not to travel just for zone bagging. I might travel to meet someone, to race, on business, on hols and I take advantage of those opportunities but not just for zones.

I have around 730 zones, but I do bike a lot, and I travel a lot too (ofc not to get new zones, but I moved three times within the last years + holidays in Sweden + visiting family in two different locations etc.). So I have 4 main spots: Ettenheim, Karlsruhe, Helsinki, Värmland. And Freiburg and Hamburg as minor spots (mostly walking and short runs there)

I am happy to travel for zones (I'd be pretty limited in my exploring if I didn't to be honest) but I only record planned hikes and runs (I won't record a leisurely ramble around a foreign city for example).

CW - computer says 298. I've never tracked it but I'd expect this to be a particularly low year. Given I'm a runner only I'm only in this game for the personal challenge so I don't worry too much.
It does say I need more holidays though 
I'm with you JR on what gets logged. That's pretty much my approach too so aimless wanderings don't count for me.

I’ve been keeping an eye on my annual zone count, I’d like to get the 500 zones in a year badge but I’m currently losing zones from a year ago as fast as I’m adding new ones.
Anyway on Sunday, my run took my annual zone count to 271, today it’s down to 269. I’ve had a look though everything I logged in August last year and I can’t see any zones that I went through then but not since, so I’m totally flummoxed about which two zones I’ve lost off that total.

I only log running and do travel by train and bus - hardly ever if at all by car - to run in new places. I've had 1000 new zones at least once in a year with months of business travel.

Ah yes, business travel, I remember that! At the moment its hard to get new zones as I always start from home (or holiday home). I'd like to get to 500 zones but I think that won't happen unless I start running lots more races.
