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!

I've held off joining because I wasn't sure how it would go without many roads or nearby Fetchies. There's going to be a lot of unreachable reports from me for a while. I won't cheat though!

Who needs roads? You have the responsible right to roam. Hmm, what were the guidelines about Fetchpointing on a horse again? ;-)

(There are only a few places in my circle which are impossible to reach. But there are a larger number which are fairly impractical (usually involving agriculture and either proximity or remoteness) which I've taken to marking as inaccessible, but usually only for a bug.)

Only one way to find out how it'll go ;) My only observation on that score would be to reinforce that it's supposed to be a game to help motivate - if it becomes a chore or a self-imposed stressor (and it has done for some), then it's not working

No issue with lots of unreachables - I have large numbers too - they do diminish over time

totally agree with CA. Im also usually an isolated runner with loads of unreachable areas but for me it is the best Fetch game, and the other games are pretty awesome

I don't think the farmers would appreciate me right to roaming on the spring oats, Dvorak! Especially not on the horse.

Is there a toggle to select the satellite map on the Fetchpoint page? I can view the satellite in Routes with the Fetchpoint objects overlaid BUT I can't mark them inaccessible on that page. Currently using two tabs because my short term memory is too shit to remember which ones are inaccessible for even a couple of clicks.

Oh darn it. I didn't realise that you need to leave the circle to squash a bug!

Am I going to go out again? That is the question...

I take it that you have to get the bug first and leave the circle second AND all in the same training exercise?

No, you consider the outing as a whole - if you have passed the bug and been outside the circle in either order the bug is squished.

It’s an easy mistake to make! I’ve done it loads!
