Yorkshire Pie Jan 2012 1:56pm, 6 Jan 2012 9,581 posts	Quote Pin Yorkshire Pie I managed about 7000 points in 4 miles earlier Admittedly I haven't run outside much this week because of the wind so markers had started building up impressively, but that's probably my best return to date. I've also plotted out a route for my cycle home from work which should squish another 10 bugs.

Ultra Sparkly Bridget Jan 2012 3:34pm, 6 Jan 2012 11,458 posts	Quote Pin Ultra Sparkly Bridget Bensey - are you having to have 2 browsers open to (a) look at the Fetchpoint map and (b) plot the route in the Routes section before transferring it to the Garmin? I've used route downloads for a couple of races very effectively but if I'm honest by the time I've worked out a Fetchpoint route in my head and then gone over it again I am fine memory wise (despite my advancing years). I got 3 bugs this morning. Thought it was just the 2 but luckily spotted the 3rd one lurking near his mate. I have had repeat bugs in the same general area but not really close enough to say they are in the same place.
