chunkywizard May 2020 10:29am, 2 May 2020 7,567 posts	0 chunkywizard In 84th despite a sub 300 outing this morning. Still bug free for 10 days though so hoping I can keep the above 333 average to peak above 10K in 20 days time.

BrightStrider May 2020 12:05pm, 2 May 2020 49 posts	0 BrightStrider I'm not enthusiastic about the idea of a Zoom meeting for Fetchpoint, Fetch. Sorry. I have plenty already. My work has them, my running club (Cantab Hash House Harriers) has them, and my church has them. In terms of having a recording of the meeting, I'd rather have an executive summary (aka minutes of the meeting). Video files are huge and need more space on those servers in the Mojave Desert than a text file. Hopefully, we can discuss well enough, here. I'm in a similar position to Vancouver Jogger, although I do cycle. It would be good to rebalance for more isolated Fetchies, especially since the Higgs Boson seems to favour dense areas. Perhaps there could be dragons and dragon's hoards in more remote places: 'Here be dragons.' It would be consistent with the Ring. N.B. if you mean the one from the Lord of the Rings, then in the book, it is called 'the One Ring', rather than the One True Ring. Perhaps that term borrows a little from the One True King, a title of King Arthur. The One Ring is anything but true, arguably. In Fetchpoint, we could have the resting place of the One True King, which relocates at intervals. The Round Table too. After all, different places lay claim to be being the location of Camelot. The Sword in the Stone, perhaps. Perhaps one shouldn't mix the back stories, though.
kstuart May 2020 12:13pm, 2 May 2020 3,664 posts	0 kstuart Slowly working my way towards some of the badges for this one. Will hopefully get the 10 bug free days shortly and then the 5000 point one too Not sure how much higher i can go previosuly peaked in the 8000's with biking out into the hills for flowers. I could bike to the nearest town which is chock full of everything i guess for some easy gains and when more back into running run there too. New things to go after would be nice although it works well enough now too. An abilkity to check which areas you marked off limits to allow access to once more would be nice as i've marked off some due to size of path and the sheer hordes of people out and about compared to normal.... Far to narrow and long to get past easily
chunkywizard May 2020 12:19pm, 2 May 2020 7,570 posts	0 chunkywizard I like the 'see the areas you marked out of bounds'. I’d like to check I’ve got them all on the golf course/ fields/ motorway. I’d also like to have the ability to see the value of a flower without clicking on it. Maybe you could have it toggle on and off in the map view like you can toggle other items. This would make planning routes for the highest return much easier.
BrightStrider May 2020 3:39pm, 2 May 2020 50 posts	0 BrightStrider Hi kstuart, the way to to bring areas back into the limits is to go through them. It wipes the off-limits record. Being able to see off-limits areas would be interesting, but by definition objects won't appear in them, so the practical usefulness would be limited.
BrightStrider May 2020 3:42pm, 2 May 2020 51 posts	0 BrightStrider I may have been thinking of the Once and Future King, rather than the One True King. The 'One True King' does have a, err, ring to it, doesn't it.
