Sampson May 2020 7:01am, 29 May 2020 54 posts	Quote Pin Sampson Great Brownings and Little Brownings are two of my local favourites. The first sounds like a general exclamation for posh people. The second is a name they might use for number twos.

CumbriAndy May 2020 8:45am, 29 May 2020 1,741 posts	Quote Pin CumbriAndy Yep- as Oranj says, stick with it Sampson - there have always been seasonal variations in scoring (higher when the sun is out/plenty of daylight) and we're also currently seeing a lockdown effect as people get to spend more time near home in decent weather. If it helps, think of your score a bit like a race time. The score you get is the result of your personal choices/circumstances (just like a race time) and there's nothing you can do about anybody else. We're all happy when we set PBs regardless of our position in a race field - we can choose to see our scores similarly.

Shortcut Cam May 2020 1:57pm, 29 May 2020 1,337 posts	Quote Pin Shortcut Cam I’d never thought of seasonal variation would the scores. I’m on my highest score, 13000, and barely holding on to 30th place. (10000 got me in top 10 a few months ago). A couple of months ago I started recording my commute walk in London. Up to a Couple of hundred points a day doing that but not so much with lockdown. Also, I’m on a roll with bug clearing.

Badger May 2020 2:48pm, 29 May 2020 12,318 posts	Quote Pin Badger Lockdown is actually hurting my score quite a lot, because there are parts of my circle I just don't want to run through because the roads and pavements are so narrow that distancing is a challenge. So I haven't had a bug bonus in months!
