westmoors Mar 2012 5:42pm, 5 Mar 2012 22 posts	Quote Pin westmoors Went out to herd some bugs. Turned down a road where I knew 2 were lurking only to come face to face with a sign saying "Private Road". Being a total coward I turned round and left the bugs where they were.
westmoors Mar 2012 5:46pm, 5 Mar 2012 23 posts	Quote Pin westmoors Damn, my Garmin signal was out of kilter. My bug herding has completely failed. The route uploaded is all slightly off and so it doesn't take me outside the mile circle even though I did step outside.

ChrisHB Mar 2012 5:52pm, 5 Mar 2012 7,300 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB I got my fifth garmin today and cleared all the bugs. There's a definite shortage of coins around here. On Saturday I got around 10k points/mile but the rest of the month has seen me get about half that. There are just two accessible patches left, strangely enough, where the steepest hills are. BTW there's no need for a pedestrian to stop at a "Private Road" sign. It just means if you trip up, you sue the residents, not the council. I think.

Duchess Mar 2012 7:12pm, 5 Mar 2012 944 posts	Quote Pin Duchess ChrisHB, you're thinking of an unadopted road - it's still a public right of way but owned and maintained by residents rather than a local authority. Your drive is a "Private Road".

westmoors Mar 2012 8:31pm, 5 Mar 2012 24 posts	Quote Pin westmoors Plotted the route manually. Moved the little bugs and collected a couple of extra coins which makes up for the rent I paid when I uploaded from my Garmin. I had planned the route to miss the traffic lights but the dodgy GPS signal took me right through one!
