Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Synge, I didn’t even know that was there! Thank you, that’s worked a treat.

Another question :-)
Is there a way to edit on the virtual missions page? Yesterday I recorded a walk as a run with my Garmin, as MVM doesn’t recognise “cross training” as a walk. I’ve edited it on fetch but can’t see how to change it on MVM. I can only think to delete it and add manually, but then I won’t see the map...

I can’t see the distances, even after expanding the description box, unless I change my settings to always expand. I’ll report it to Fetch as an bug.

I seem to be recording steps which adds to distance on top of a run or walk.How do I sort this out?

What are you syncing from? Garmin Connect? You can’t adjust that on the web as far as I can see, but if you get the Apple or android app, you can change the settings so that steps are ignored. Or if you use the orange site, just link to that instead.

I’m a little behind you on 27.9 Alice.

My total includes steps so I feel a bit of a fraud having those included.
