I'm never going to get big scores, so I'm happy just competing against myself i.e. improving my best ever score (currently 0 from the start of the game 😄)

I am getting some Karma returned to me for those Abingdon traffic lights yesterday. My bug-of-the-day is in a playing field I can only run through. Gonna be there for a few days yet...

Weird Garmin logging today. I went to a specific point to get a monkey and the Garmin drew the line somewhere else entirely so I missed it. Everywhere else was perfect. I have added the monkey manually.

My "home" location is on the London marathon route. I get pinged for massive bug fines if I have a week off (-196 points just today) due to heavy London usage so if I pick up a lucky traffic light in March it will balance out for the bug penalties.... Fingers crossed

i'm with you on that IM - when you know that you have gone very close to something and it is not picked up due to Garmin (whereas if you had hand drawn the route it would have been) then i think you are entitled to claim it with a small manual addition as long as it doesn't affect anything else. Others may disagree, but when you have chosen a route to pick the object up specifically then in my book it is yours.

Arrgh, last night's run with a detour on the way to our C25K session to pick up a big failed, as my garmin had a wobbly and didnt cover the whole run, meaning I didn't get out of my home circle.

I'll try to get it tonight, but unfortunately I can't get the bug without also hitting nearby traffic lights. On the positive side, now I've been trying to check the map regularly and plan a strategy on the days when I can choose my route, I'm now under minus 5000 points, and hope I may be able to get down to zero one day :-)

Oh nooo jenny. Infuriating when you've gone to the trouble, I know it's only a game :-0 but I'd add your route manually next time.

I nabbed everything on my patch today on a long murky dank dark early walk. No job to go to, too old 😂

Thanks for the tip ferret, I'll remember that for next time - there's bound to be a next time with my dodgy GPS ;-)

1) The scoreboard and markers don't 'reset' on the first of the month any more. They work on a rolling 30 day system.
