I rode it to work last Sunday night and the front brake jammed on in the pitch black park where I was and I had to drag it to work! My bug today is at the far north of my circle, I’d just cycle over if I had a bike to ride! Wasn’t really planning to run that far!

cackleberry Nov 2022 2:38pm, 22 Nov 2022 2,729 posts	0 cackleberry Quick question - I have marked a load of areas that are inaccessible on my FetchPoint map. I am due to move house soon. When I re-set my home point, will all those inaccessible points come with me or will they be wiped off? My new map will be probably 90% accessible unlike my current map which is more like 50% at best. (I'm looking forward to actually getting some decent scores at last and standing half a chance of clearing some bugs!!)
Bright Strider Nov 2022 2:54pm, 22 Nov 2022 311 posts	0 Bright Strider The inaccessible points stay, because though you moved they stayed the same. They belong to the location. Your bugs will move with you, and their start dates will be reset. They belong to you. Will cycling be possible where you are moving to? It does help with scoring Fetchpoint points.

I have taken my circle on holiday with me and didn’t notice any inaccessible points marked while I was away! I think my circle is only 50% accessible due to the sea and the docks area! This can work to your advantage at times only having half the space to cover!

Bright Strider Nov 2022 3:59pm, 22 Nov 2022 312 posts	0 Bright Strider You don't have to unmark them, cackleberry. In principle, if another Fetchpoint player goes through them, they are remarked as accessible, because clearly they are, for that Fetchpointer. Some Fetchpointers can reach some locations, other Fetchpointers can reach other locations.
