Hiya Fetchies :-)

If you like sharing routes, or if you like taking pictures whilst you're out and about, or possibly both, then give this a try...

You can now add a nice pic to each of your routes e.g. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1705913 to show other runners just exactly how lovely your route is (or conversely, just what you have to put up with). If you make the route public, there's a handy URL for sharing, or a button that will do a Tweet for you. There's also a little voting panel, so you can vote up the ones you like the best (so we can hopefully generate a nice list of the most-loved routes).

I know that there are plenty more improvements to be made to the routes tool (particularly if you need to edit an existing route), and I'm working through some of those. I also intend to give you the opportunity to record times against each others routes, so you can do league tables if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat :-)

More to come then, but I thought you might like to try the pictures.

Great! I live around there (Attenborough) so I might give that route a try!

It's maybe not the awesome-est of routes, but it's one that I had a picture for. There's a nice path from Attenborough to Trent Lock - do you know that one?

Yeah, that's the route I use for my long runs (or not so long runs as they've become lately). I've been looking to mix things up a bit though as I tend to stick to the same old routes.

I'm being a bit blond - where do you add the photo? Presumably you have to have saved the route somewhere first?

Here's another good local one for you - it goes up part of the Erewash canal, as far as Stapleford, then back down through Toton Sidings. Might be a useful way to explore part of the canal without doing the whole thing in one hit:

The guy who uploaded this one (chrisity) bats for Long Eaton RC, and he knows *all* the local routes :-)

minardi - it has to be your own route - and there should be a link in a grey box just above the map. Can you see it?

I spent many an evening in the late 70's walking the dog round Attenborough :-)

There's a lovely circuit there to include in a run :-)

I've added a link on private routes now enabling you to switch them to public with one click.

It's lovely to see a few people giving this a try - here's one:
