Went Fetchpointing on my mountain bike this afternoon to move / squish as many bugs as I could remember the location of, however missed two by metres. More detailed checks required before heading out next time

So what happens when we find the 5? I bet there's information somewhere but I've been a bit busy than to read through loads of posts etc, sorry

Bensey Dec 2011 8:21pm, 18 Dec 2011 54 posts	Quote Pin Bensey Excitabaubbles, if you collect 5 Garmin markers then you'll be entered into this month's game, sponsored by a famous GPS device manufacturer whose name I can't remember, to win a Garmin FR110 watch. You only need to collect 5, and once you collect 5 you get nothing more than a smug sense of satisfaction (and a few fetchpoints).

My legs will undoubtably protest if I run again (really is not sensible to more than double my mileage in a month) and the roads are unlikely to have thawed enough to bike before I go to work, so the bugs have won today. Fortunately theory are not too close to home. Core work time.
