I can usually get to 150 or so, I did my Gridmaster run at my mum's after very careful plotting to avoid railway land an inaccessible farm.

I fear that I don't have enough dedication to the cause to find somewhere to stay and take the bike in order to get that badge...yet...

I did think it's technically possible to do a treble Gridmaster as my London route is only 23 miles.
The short out & backs would be murder on a bike, but potentially doable.

#The route is public, but I managed to lose the grid centre location to make it all work :(

Am in the process of working out where the coords should be, and will move grid Monday morning to test the route works. Will share with y'all in case anyone wants a London Tri.

I could do an efficient route at my in-laws in the US as the town next door had a near perfect north/south grid. But it was impossible to avoid a corner straying into 'No trespassing' territory, and I didn't want to get shot!

Did 220 squares there and the last 5 back in the UK once to earn the Gridmaster badge.

I also got hammered in 1x1 the week I did Gridmaster in one run. After 35 miles on a Monday I had no more desire to plod the same streets!

Had to be a Monday (and hope my opponent didn't post anything) to get a screenshot of the pristine red 1x1 board.

A screenshot to frame, a fully owned grid on day 1 👍

I could never get gridmaster in one go as I need to do a grid move to get to the inaccessible squares in the sea!

135 accessible squares, with the gridmaster shown (first half shown in situ but duplicated for the second half):

I had 78 squares of sea back in Lee in Solent, and I'm not a swimmer :(
Which was why I looked at London for a potential Gridmaster.

Most of my inaccessible squares are in the sea but also the docks is an inaccessible area too!
