Bob!
RevBB, if you're going abroad and you are logging runs & walks you really need to be playing conquercise as well, and looking to explore as many zones as possible.

Already signed up for Conquercise :)

I had thought I probably wouldn't run in Jerusalem, but would be OK alongside Lake Galilee, as the hotel is in what is basically a tourist area. I will be doing plenty of walking around Jerusalem, though, so Helen's Conquercise zone is toast :D

Today my legs are just a little stiff from yesterday's race - mainly the hamstrings, but only really noticeable when jigging along to an upbeat worship song at church. So I reckon I'm good to go for a run tomorrow morning, so long as I take it gently and remind myself it's a recovery run. I've planned a little route of 3 miles or so, which should push 6 bugs out of my home circle.

Hark at me - a little route of 3 miles..... 6 weeks ago ai considered 3 miles a long way to attempt to run :)

Recent convert to fetchpoint, and loving it, it's getting me running locally where I don't run normally. But I live by a river and when items pop up in the river I can report them (as I don't have a boat!) and they reappear on the land, but monkeys don't, they just disappear for that day. Please can you sort this Sir Fetch?!!

Hi Zoom If you report Gorilla's then they disappear for the day. They don't like being disturbed and go off in a huff ;-)

I went on a run on Saturday aiming to squish some bugs, and for some reason, although I picked up a load of other tokens, none of the bugs I passed moved. I know I ran through a good few, and although I only briefly left my home circle, I'm certain I did because there was a Gore-illa just outside it that I picked up. Also, if I've read the rules right, even if I didn't leave my home circle I should at least have moved the bugs to the furthest point of my run.

Anyone know what I was doing wrong?

No, bugs won't move anywhere unless you leave your home circle. Sounds to me like the route that was recorded didn't leave you home circle. If the Gore-illa was only just outside your circle you could have picked it up without going out of your circle because of the 80m radius thing...

I always make sure that I do a bit more than 'only briefly' leave my home circle just to make sure

Zoom, I'm pretty sure that it's only bugs that pop up closer to home if you report them. Other things just disappear.

lol mick, thanks Drell. VJ if you go on your routes list on the left handside is a flower, if you click on that you can see your route on top of the fetchpoint map, which will help you see cleary what you was able to pick up, or if you didn't go out of your inner circle.

I have bug points on all the exits from my circle that I know are far enough :-)

Oh dear, does anyone know of a Fetchpoint addiciotn treatment centre? I've just realised that if I walk to Tesco rather than the Co-op to buy some bits, I should pick up my first Goreilla, as well as a few more coins. Where's my Garmin?
