I had two more garmangles yesterday very close to me but I have five already so I'm not chasing them. I do wonder who else is running so near me though! There are a few Fetchies in the area but I thought they were in a slightly different place -- the position of the garmangles implies someone very close.

New to this, in fact just starting out but have just spotted a garmangle round the corner from me ! Do new ones appear daily ? And is it first come first served if somebody beats me to it ?

Mykey - you would have been even more amused by my swearing fit last night! I did the run at lunchtime with the aim of refreshing that traffic light and collecting all the coins in that area but had IT difficulties at work so couldn't upload until I got home by which time you had claimed the light and taken the coins!

First come first served Mr SJ, and I think they move each day rather than build up.

And it's the first person to upload their run: so if you run at 6am but don't upload it for 12 hours then you can be beaten to them by someone who runs later but uploads earlier.

Gahhhhh Day 9 of trying to get a Garmangle and once again it's in the middle of a field that i can't get to. I really don't think it's possible to do in the area I live in.....ah well, migh thave to strop being obsessive about them!!!

4 bugs close in again but having run 7 times in the last 6 days I am not doing a thing about them today!

My inaccessible bugs are mostly in the fields on the periphery of town. When I report them they invariably move nice and close to the house :-)

phew, having moved all the inaccessible bugs closer I only just got back in time to upload before the midday penalty! Only left 3 for my neighbour, which I have no qualms about as she owns a traffic light that's difficult to avoid and I've paid her rent today and yesterday!

I'm going to rethink my long run tomorrow. I have 12-14 to do and had been thinking I'd run to a parkrun (about 5 miles), do the parkrun and run home again. Now I'm thinking I'll get the train to parkrun, run home then do a few local miles bug-sweeping... that's not *too* obsessive is it??
