So I might have to wear my Garmin (but remember to take it off before I go into the meeting!)

Battlecat Jan 2012 12:31pm, 6 Jan 2012 2,066 posts	Quote Pin Battlecat Nope Oh well. I was supposed to be resting today but there's a handful of bug spawned over night really close to my house and it's killing me on points so I'm off on a quick clean up mission when I get in.

Pale Skinny Vegan Jan 2012 12:56pm, 6 Jan 2012 259 posts	Quote Pin Pale Skinny Vegan Following DTs' map of his Central London route and the comments that players in well populated areas have an advantage, here's how I'm staying in the top ten while living in a remote area. Distances in Km. Running Mountain biking Two things I have in my favour are that I cycle to work by mountain bike, so I can access on & off road markers over a wide area, and I live on the edge of the Wyre Forest, most of which is effectively Open Access, so I'm not restricted to footpaths like most rural players.
Bensey Jan 2012 1:15pm, 6 Jan 2012 59 posts	Quote Pin Bensey Based on DTs' obsessive route-plotting before a Fetchpoint run I thought I'd see if I could use my Garmin Forerunner 305 do achieve something similar without the need to print lots of maps. I've posted a blog article describing how to import a Fetchpoint course onto your Garmin GPS watch before you go out for a run. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog_other.php?uid=47124 So if you're an obsessive Fetchpoint player too, and you have a Garmin GPS watch with the Courses feature, try it and let me know how you get on.
