Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

dobbers your total distance gets rounded up, so you have probably actually travelled between 700.5 to 700.8 miles. You need to get out and travel a further 0.2 to 0.5 mile (includes a little bit extra to account for GPS vagaries) to nudge just over 700.9 miles.

dobbers this is exactly what happened to me (with slightly different numbers). It's either a bug or a feature of the game :-)

… or you could have found a layby with a roundabout on it.

I'm at Long Meg. Except I'm not.

Has anyone else already found the glitch? If so apologies for bringing it up again. But 195 of you have already been through here.

Here I am, at Checkpoint 13, hiding behind the stones. Except I should be a further 0.3 mile up the road. I'm at 656.3 miles and the checkpoint, supposedly, is at 656.0



But those stones aren't Long Meg, they're Glassonby Circle


Long Meg, and her Daughters, are at that kink a mile or two below the marker.


Although to be fair, Long Meg and her Daughters is better name for a checkpoint badge than "Glossonby Circle".

I demand a re-run of the whole thing. Oh, wait, maybe not.
Alright, I want my money back instead !

Oh, wait ... ;-)

TBF it's probably my fault.

When I did the route I sent Fetch a list of mileages where the checkpoints were.

Like an oaf I didn't keep a full list as I went so probably spotted the wrong thing when I was finishing it off.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
