paulcook Aug 2022 10:35am, 20 Aug 2022 1,599 posts	0 paulcook A little bit of forcing a warm up and warm down, and managed to merge my two big sections to increase my lawn. Didn't quite expect it to jump to 313 though, and 3 new badges. Despite the lawn size, still only a grid of 1!

Cerrertonia Aug 2022 4:46pm, 22 Aug 2022 17,460 posts	0 Cerrertonia I finally got my grid up to 4 in about 6 months of running around York. However, it was a couple of days after moving house to the Dales, so back to 0 now...
paulcook Aug 2022 4:50pm, 22 Aug 2022 1,610 posts	0 paulcook I could get to 2 maximum I think from my current home. I think there's one square close by which is nigh on impossible to visit. Even if I changed my home anywhere on my lawn, I still wouldn't have a grid larger than 1.
Cerrertonia Aug 2022 4:53pm, 22 Aug 2022 17,461 posts	0 Cerrertonia I had one square which puzzled me for months. I could see other people had visited it, but there seemed to be no public footpaths at all. It's an Army firing range and a golf club. Turns out there are permissive paths when the Army aren't using it.
Hanneke Aug 2022 4:56pm, 22 Aug 2022 92,159 posts	0 Hanneke I am lucky enough to be able to access almost all squares around me on public foot paths but also lucky to have permission from most farmers/land owners around here to walk and ride over their land to link footpaths...
Hanneke Aug 2022 4:58pm, 22 Aug 2022 92,160 posts	0 Hanneke Which means, on my side of the valley, I can stray off footpaths to corners of fields or into other fields if need be. On the other side I don't know the farmers and the one I do know is a nasty so and so who removed a brdige over a stream, removed footpath signs and locks and ties gates shut and removes stiles! Imagine straying off a footpath there 😱😱😱
paulcook Aug 2022 5:15pm, 22 Aug 2022 1,611 posts	0 paulcook Yes. I did a run a while ago and found a few public footpaths that were less than inviting like that.
