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!

I’m going to have to admit defeat this week. On holiday in a very rural spot, first two red bugs were completely inaccessible, deleted and refreshed, the third one is accessible but alongside the A157 - we contemplated walking next to the road yesterday, but not for long. Very fast traffic and no footpath :-(
Ah well, just have to get on with enjoying the holiday, back to daily bug squishing next week.

Whoops! My bug was inaccessible so I decided to report it in the hope it would land close to home. Nope, on the other side of my circle on a spit that is vulnerable to infection based on the nearby traffic light owned by someone else.

If there’s no footpath, then I think that’s ethical to mark as unreachable.

Maybe it's reasonably bikable though?
I presume if you mark as inaccessible that blocks it for all other players too?

It does ITG, until somebody records training in that area and then it becomes viable again.

I too would say if it's cycleable then it's not quite unreachable unfortunately

If it's your bug and it's inaccessible to you, I don't think it's unreasonable to mark it inaccessible. Obviously not gems traffic lights &c.

Trouble is looking at the map there may only be a very limited number of places where bugs would be accessible without the road, and it would take up quite a chunk of the holiday walking on the same footpaths every day. And cycling on the A157 would lead to a quick trip to A&E for me - I’m wobbly at the best of times. No worries - *whispers* it’s only a game - I’ll be back on it next week :-)

I should move your point back home and have a week off if I were you Win. :)

We've come up to Ian's mum and dad's this weekend and moved our fetch circles up here, both had bugs on a main road yesterday, didn't realise just how hair raising it was till we were committed... I think if we lived here full time I'd be marking anything on there inaccessible.

Also Hi WrexhamRob if you come in here at all... Noticed you planting flowers in my neck of the woods last week... And picked some of yours up here yesterday! Small world! 😂
