I've started logging walks which I never used to do unless it was out of the ordinary or I was curious to see the mileage, now I'm logging walks if I walk my dog somewhere slightly different from the norm. I hope you lot don't think this is cheating, because some of the markers / bugs are actually quite inaccessable for cycle rides or runs as they are in the deepest darkest parts of the countryside and I suppose it's making me vary my routine and burn more calories so can't be a bad thing. I did however go out to bug bash this morning, planning on where I had to get to and where to take it to for it to be dropped but my plan was thwarted by the gamekeeper being on the boundary of the field I needed to sneak into. Hopefully I can manage it later this week. I reported about 4 bugs so thought I should at least give this one a go, if I report any more Sir Fetch will think I really am cheating.

And to clarify matters - I would only have to skirt round the edge of the field to a grassy area in the back corner - just didn't want to do it with my dog whilst the gamekeeper was there because it is bordered by woods which I believe have pheasant pens & grain hoppers in, don't want to upset him - I need him on my side now I'm a local

To report or not to report? There is a bug on the bypass! I'm going to have a look later but I don't think I'm brave enough to run along the grass verge to get it although someone less cowardly in traffic might do it. A cyclist, of course, would pick it up easily.

I reported all the inaccessible bugs earlier in the week - not quite quick enough off the mark though as it took me a few days to realise they were inaccessible duh. They were all in fields marked as private and had a farmer with a gun threatening to shoot or prosecute if anyone ventured there. Not literally of course, but the notices on the boundary ences implied that.
I've since been running the accessible bugs out of the village and this morning I'm going to collect the last 2.

On my walk I refreshed my rent marker to 99 (which nobody else is likely to pass through anyway) and I passed through a system generated one, which has refreshed to 97?! A) Why has this not gone to 99? and B) Shouldn't I now own it? If I run through it later or bike through it, will it now charge ME the rent?

(But I am still happy because the random marker on the top of the hedge in my back garden was worth 100 credits!)

If I walk to Waitrose to get a pudding I could nab 250 points. Would that be naughty of me?

why have the rent markers gone back up but they're still not owned by anyone? thought that once they got down to zero they'd stay there until someone owned them
