GG: the number of streets I've been down that I never had before lockdown is amazing, and that's mostly within grid and having lived here for ten years.
Even more amazing, I've found a couple of footpaths I had never even _seen_ before. It's almost like they magicked themselves into existence.

Well I just don't know about that Chell. You should cycle if you can.

If I ever appear on Mastermind my specialist subject will be “footpaths and trails within 1.5 miles of my front door”.

From lockdown I’m finding loads of people in our local woods and fells where I rarely saw people previously it’s encouraged me to take less trodden paths and found even more beautiful trails. Sadly many are out of grid.
My grid doesn’t work well for the scope I run but I’m trying to work at keeping in grid.

GG, roberton I’m the same, I’ve found various new paths that I never noticed before. I blame WSW for an obsession with getting into new squares! And every run outside of grid now feels like a waste (unless it is to get to the three elusive squares at top left that are the wrong side of a river and require a bit of a detour out of grid!). Sadly the river is too shallow to get any of those 4 point swims though!

There's not too many paths around here to get to know, but when we lived in NW London I knew the local area better after a year (because of Fetchpoint - in the days when WSW didn't even exist) than people who had lived there all their lives. Road names, back alleys, short cuts, footpaths...

Fetchpoint first introduced me to all the connecting footpaths around my town. Now WSW is helping me rediscover them.
My opponent seems to do at least a walk each day. I am wondering at what point my husband will make me stay home
