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!

Ha! Slow typist here! ;-)

Night-owl and CumbriAndy essentially wrote the same as I did. :-)

Yes I guess if I get time I could run back and steal her flowers 😱

I wouldn't go out of my way for 1 point, I'd target rubies and diamonds if possible, or someone else's watered flower chain - that helps both of you then.

Went out and back on the valley road, thinking I'd plant double the flowers I did... I circled around at the turning point to avoid putting the return flowers on top of the out flowers. Yet, no double flowers... Can you not plant flowers twice on an out and back route?

You definitely can plant on an out and back, I do it quite a lot. Did you inadvertently put your 0.5 mile points in the same eighty metre circle in each direction?

There’s not a lot in this area Alpenrose. Just me. I mainly do target my bug and then any gems worth getting, not the green ones which I just leave to get picked up if I’m passing.

Fizz, I need a bigger circle next time at turnaround. I think they were too close together?

Hann,
Yes you can, provided the spot is not already occupied by another marker. It might be that your circling around at the turning point wasn't large enough to separate the flower planting points. I find that I need them to be at least 0.05 mile apart.

Flowers don't get planted at exactly the 0.5 and 1.0 marks, they "snap" to nearest point on an unseen grid, hence the arrangement of flowers (and other markers) in a grid pattern of straight horizontal and vertical lines.

Just did a short walk 1.3 miles out and back with a virtual mile in the middle. Planted only 4 flowers but watered 270 I'm impressed

Be out on another route soon just to get some more squares
