All my points come from walking - it takes bloody hours!

Very very well done then, Ding Doc, cycling is a massive help, & Corrah, hope you’re ruthless with where your bugs are allowed to spawn, if I wouldn’t go somewhere (busy narrow fast road for example) for a diamond, bugs are marked inaccessible too

I'm getting very grumpy with the game now
- yesterday two bugs were about half a mile apart as the crow flies - but ~ 2 miles on the ground when the route has to get over a river, the railway and the A1. That would be OK if one of them wasn't on a road I don't really like running down ( no reason, it's not unsafe or anything) and this morning's bug hasn't just spawned in the same bloody place

That's bloomin' annoying RH, I have a rural patch that I don't go to in the winter as I'm mainly running in the dark then.

I have a similar problem in winter. There are parts of my home circle that aren't practical if it isn't daylight so I can only really get to them at the weekend. Sometimes I'm unlucky and get a bug there on a Monday and it has to wait all week to get squished.

I did 5 mile round walk to squish bug, collect stuff, go for blood test etc. Now I see I missed the bug by about a centimetre. 3rd world problems I guess, if that’s all I have to worry about today (& it is)

Oh that is annoying when it happens ferret! I might be tempted to draw the route manually and tweak it...

Being in countryside causes me the same issues with bugs in the winter. Wont go over the fields in the dark

Too easy to trip over & otherwise faceplant in the dark even if you otherwise you don’t mind the spooky part. Maybe tweak 🏡 point in the spring to reset unreachable winter markers?
I managed to upload my run before parkrun, having just watered flowers & moved 2 relays into place so the long distance runner took them with him with after parkrun.

My scariest bit is along the canal. Apart from the obvious danger of lurking axe-murderers I would be bound to trip over a mooring rope and then get barged off the path into the canal by a speeding cyclist who can't see me in the dark
