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!

snap!

just did @Groundhog 's course which was very good. The next nearest one to me is a bit of a journey. I need @RRR-CAZ 🇬🇧 or @JustCommando! to make one!

This is a course I made fetcheveryone.com/ori-course.php?id=7

Do a run, running through all the course points and you'll get a badge!

You can create a course here fetcheveryone.com/ori.php by pressing the create a course button. I ran then run it and I might run some places I haven’t run before.

I made one, just to muck about

fetcheveryone.com/ori-course.php?id=137
It had two more locations but it said it was live after I placed the 10th?
Anyway that should keep you busy for 10 mins @chunkywizard and I have plans for a bigger one, but will need to do some scouting!

I think you can edit if it is your own course and no other fetchie (except yourself) has attempted it

This course is now live and cannot be amended. Send feedback to Fetch if you're having problems.


It appears not. No one has attempted it,nor even me.

I’ve amended a course before so it is possible…

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I had an idea the other day whilst walking with Katie. A lot of Fetch games rely on randomly-placed markers to encourage you to vary your routes - but what if you could design your own virtual orienteering course? Drop a dozen or so virtual flags on the map, and then you've got a challenge for yourself and anyone else who is passing through the area.

I've built some pages that allow you to construct a course:

fetcheveryone.com/ori

There are some notes on that page ...
