Ness Aug 2018 9:15am, 15 Aug 2018 9,416 posts	0 Ness That’s true. I’m on holiday on Mallorca until Saturday but have moved my ‘home’ while I’m here. I’ve tended to stick to running along the seafront promenade to save getting lost on some back street in Cala Millor but I’ve managed to get a few points this week. I’m in the lead at the moment but don’t expect it to stay that way when Barky logs his training.

I guess where it will be of benefit is for those "active" players who are away for a week - it gives them another option to avoid losing points alongside the current option of moving their home square. Nothing to lose anyway
