A Fighting Chance

I've been thinking about attempting to get all rundle digits for a while now, I finally managed it yesterday.
Quite often there's a few digits that are inaccessible but yesterday I managed to fiddle around enough to make it doable.

I used the opportunity to use the Fetch route planner (made very easy with the rundle overlay). I then exported the gpx route and put it on my new Garmin Epix (to test that out). It went really well, but the map could have been zoomed in a bit more (I'll play with settings I guess). I also carried the phone with the rundle map open and used the 'find me' option to make sure I was inside the circle.

The experience was similar to street orienteering, albeit planned upfront. It took me down lots of local streets that I've never been down which is always a good thing.

Here's the original map



Here's my route plan (8 and 1 were overlapping but I went down another street to make sure of number 1). I also found a shortcut across a recreation reserve. Actual run came in at 11.2km



And here's the shiny badge

I started running in 2006 after a drunken sign up to the Bristol HM. The rest, they say, is history.....
