chunkywizard Jun 2023 6:44pm, 1 Jun 2023 16,364 posts	0 chunkywizard Interesting route RunRuss. I wander if point to point is the way to go? I’ll be running my optimised route tonight which should be me higher in the list but don’t think I will get to the top.
chunkywizard Jun 2023 9:15pm, 1 Jun 2023 16,366 posts	0 chunkywizard I demand a recount! I just tried my optimised 26 square route but I was only granted 25 squares I think this was the closest was this one, surely that counts If I'd have got 26 squares I would have an efficiency of 7.08 (so still nowhere near RunRuss!)
RunRuss Jun 2023 10:18pm, 1 Jun 2023 46 posts	0 RunRuss I think this was the closest was this one, surely that counts If you zoom in really close, do you see evidence of a GPS point? I'd guess there isn't one. If your recording device has an every-second mode, enable it 😉
Snail Jun 2023 10:37pm, 1 Jun 2023 1,871 posts	0 Snail Always enjoy a WSW challenge, particularly if there is a badge attached! Onto the leader board but 240m further than RunRuss for my 25 squares
FunkyPOM Jun 2023 5:25am, 2 Jun 2023 1,009 posts	0 FunkyPOM Good tip re every second mode RunRuss :-). I'm declaring on 7.26 sq/km, the repetition is already driving me insane. Question re subsequent weeks. The badge is only available to be won once. Those at the top of the rankings will likely be in the top 10 most weeks. Will the WSW badge hamsters only count the top 10 of those that haven't won on previous weeks? And.... will there be an ongoing leaderboard of, say, top 100 all time most efficient routes?
chunkywizard Jun 2023 7:16am, 2 Jun 2023 16,367 posts	0 chunkywizard I was on every second mode :-(. I might go out on my bike and repeat and then I’ll be further over and should get it. As Funky says, the repetition will get to me soon.
chunkywizard Jun 2023 1:03pm, 2 Jun 2023 16,369 posts	0 chunkywizard I've peaked at 7.21 after I repeated the course above on my bike going slightly wider at any dodgy points. I can't get any higher without a new course.
chunkywizard Jun 2023 1:18pm, 2 Jun 2023 16,370 posts	0 chunkywizard by the way, I just wondered if I can't have to keep to roads then what was the max score I could achieve. I plotted a 26 square route in 2.47km ie 10.52 efficiency. I'll have another go to see if any other pattern would yield a higher result. Can anyone else do better?
