Tidying up my Veloviewer heatmap and found some pre Strava runs where i forgot to switch off. Today if you forget to switch off and drive home you are guaranteed to be flagged. Down about 200 tiles, good news is mtb has filled a few holes and now on 801 cluster.

Max square now up to 34.

You've decided to not be sensible then

It's worse than that, the previous two rides involved COR. And I may have slightly trespassed on a gas installation.

Some missing tiles tidied up and joined to the cluster, but had hoped for one more long CX to sort out a few more of the more obvious ones left in the NW.
Ah well, my friend made a video of one of our more "out in the wilds" MTB rides, so time to share.

They go well with the 1980s Adidas trainers

@carlosferreiro, wonderful video and what a great trip. That's what tiling is all about. Will be watching the other videos with interest and planning a trip to Shetland. .

carlosferreiro · « **Reply #1235 on:** 21 July, 2020, 07:14:07 pm »

Haha, cheers. i went from BMX to Roadie without passing go, so now when the MTB comes out it's back to the olden days for flat pedal shoes

There's a lot of Shetland hills that are rough enough that "well I never have to go back there again" comes up after getting the tiles, but there's also places turned up as more rideable (in a slow motion, plus tyre kind of way) than I expected, which as you say is kind of the point of tiling.
To be fair a lot of the hills are just a lot better "made" for walking, but I try to limit that kind of thing

Does anyone use the EveryTile app for Garmin?

In itself it works nicely, ticking off a square when I ride through it. But for all my trying I am unable to save my current tiles to the app so for every ride it is as it's my very first one.

Fixed this by downloading the source code, inserting the generated "squares I visited" string and compiling the app. One of the reviews on the app mentioned that Garmin did recently reduce the maximum length of the entry field where you have to paste that string into causing this problem.

Really like this app now!

Achievement unlocked: coast to coast. I think this means I've won Blockbusters.

I had a week camping, offroading and squarebagging round the Pennines, only bagged about 130 tiles, but I linked up a couple of mini-clusters, pushed my overall cluster up to 4759, and most surprisingly, I didn't sicken myself off the whole thing. I'm pleased to have my Surly back in MTB mode now, though, some of that shit was a bit much on my tourer, especially with luggage.

Looks like I'll be riding back from Hull the last weekend of July, and I might try and fill in some of the gaps around there. Not just cos it's flat

Nice one Deano,
Not far off my own C2C in middle England.
Finally ticked off my home County. Northants done.

"I think this means I've won Blockbusters."

I think that means that you have to do the Gold Run. Pentland Firth to English Channel

Fantastic achievement- well done!

Hoping to do my C2C in Scotland this year- much easier for me.

Deano · « **Reply #1244 on:** 22 July, 2020, 11:25:37 pm »

Reckon I could push it up to Inverness, but not sure I fancy heading south. I'd rather finish up Zun'lun.

The Haa at the top of Ȝell to Troy Town on St Agnes would be better

well done QG! a great achievement! Pleasing to see the map filled in with (watered down) Dutch orange!

Did an explore up to Lechlade & E of Swindon, so now on 32x32, and 1542 cluster.

Had a close thing with a tile near Fairford. I've opened the track up in VV, to 'expose the full gpx', and it seems to have stuck OK.
