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!

Fetch Relay 2 is going to happen.

From what I remember of the last relay, it was a bit, shall we say, "secretive" in that it was never obvious where the baton was, who had it and where it was going.

Would it be worth charting the progress of the baton on a map - not step by step or to the actual address of the Fetchie holding it, but at least to the town where the baton resides? Folk can then say "Hey, I live near Budleigh Salterton, I could take it for a bit and move it onwards". We could have a map showing where it's gone, tracking mileage and such, and have a final point where it is now.

The route planner could do that if someone would be able to maintain it. I think I could probably spare enough time to click twice on a map.

Charting on a map is a blinding idea.

Also have MC to the left. All depends on which way round we are going to start.

Another new rule to try and avoid the dissapperance of the baton again is that we will have a 4 week turnaround limit. Any longer then we will send out the guys from the POSE thread to preach at the offender
