S'all a bit of fun and our Nike sponsorship deals are not exactly hanging on it. I don't grudge badges to those who live on the grassy savanah or a grid-city. Not that Oranj needs any more. He must have massive swimming trunks.
mcshane Jun 2022 9:59am, 29 Jun 2022 111 posts	0 mcshane Thought I'd share how I'm now planning my cycle routes... this map of conquercise squares is colour coded for how many days before zones expire from my lawn/grid - black are already expired, red zone expire within the next month, orange two months, yellow three months. Purple is my home zone, no square at all means I've never visited, my current grid is shown as a black outline. In the past I've missed going to a zone nearby that was about to be lost and then had to go back that way.
Autumnleaves Jun 2022 10:33am, 29 Jun 2022 18,228 posts	0 Autumnleaves Well that's a whole new level of seriousness! I keep a vague eye on my map but mostly focus on visiting new zones when away.
Hanneke Jun 2022 2:17pm, 29 Jun 2022 90,602 posts	0 Hanneke My grid is 7... I think that is pretty high but I created my lawn by literally expanding in a circle around home, from home. I am blessed with an endurance cycling habit though, so not all walking! I can't run... I so far haven't run into hillsides too steep to scale on foot or other areas that cannot be reached by bike. At some point, I will hit the sea, South and West first. I am on the Eastern borders of S Wales... Nearly at the sea in the South... May just go for it if the weekend is nice, weather wise...
Hanneke Jun 2022 2:19pm, 29 Jun 2022 90,603 posts	0 Hanneke Ahhh... Actually, West wise, I will hit an army exercise area that is out of bounds... So that will be my limiting factor there...

Yorkshire Pie Jun 2022 2:42pm, 29 Jun 2022 14,587 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I have a big lawn but a really crap grid because I'm only a square or two away from the city centre and I rarely head through the centre and out the other side. My lawn is mainly composed of little tentacles which reach out from the main clump of zones near home rather than being a solid block.
