If you tag an activity on Strava as a walk, run etc, does it show on Veloviewer for Explorer purposes?

If you select it, yes.

Hmm, I only seem to be able to select Ride or Virtual Ride

Got my max square to 30.  This is the point where sensible people stop, isn't it?
It’s the point where I stopped, certainly.

More than 31 would not be possible for me due to some RAF bases (Brüggen, Elmpt) and I thought 30 was a nicer number than 31.

Bruggen ceased to be an RAF base in 2001, and ceased to be anything to do with the British in 2015. 'Elmpt' is presumably NATO base Geilenkirchen, which ceased to be RAF (or British) in 1968. Whatever access problems you have, it ain't anything to do with the RAF!

Edit: of course (I should have remembered!) Elmpt is right next to the former RAF Bruggen, not Geilenkirchen, so I guess you ran up against two different parts of the same former airbase.

Yep.  It’s no longer RAF but as I’m not a member of the golf club I’m not allowed in!

The Awacs base Geilenkirchen is no issue. Just south of the perimeter fence is a dirt track which covers the southern tiles. A few hundred meters of walking through a field covers the only tile without half decent roads.

Nice round numbers trump being sensible, so I've now got it up to 32.

A new tile today took me a wee bit closer to the kilocluster.

My alarm went off at 0530 having had about 3 hours sleep. I got to the station at about 0615 so i checked in before 0630 when it gets expensive. Got the 0639 train to Zeeland, a ferry across to Not Belgium. And have risen about 5k to a cafe. This bags me the last Gemeente in Zeeland. And a dozen or so tiles.

Conditions are amazing. there's no wind. In Zeeland. I repeat no wind in Zeeland. The wind turbines don't turn, smoke goes straight up. It's amazing. I've never had such good conditions here. (Mainly cos Randonneurs NL insist on bringing us here in November :p)

Tis a good day!

A weeks annual leave, and cancelled holiday plans meant some time for cycling and walking;

10109 tiles - an increase of 88
Max square 18x18 - still the same
Max Cluster: 726 - an increase of 7

Went out into West Lothian last weekend and the weekend before. Max cluster up to 390. More to the point, I'm enjoying exploring new roads.
If I want to increase the size of my square, I need to go and do the off-road tiles south of Edinburgh. I know where they all are, and have a route planned...
So on Saturday, that is what I did. It was rather good fun. I now have a 14x14 square and a 421 cluster. To increase the size of the square again I need more off-road tiles (but to go in one direction does involve a sensible round in the Pentlands). Maybe I'll stick with riding all over East Lothian to expand my cluster...

That was interesting - I’m surprised I’m ahead of Olaf Storbeck in Germany as he rides way more. I guess less specific tile-bagging. Top German has 101 max square  :o

New York to Washington today, loads of crappy urban riding. If I never ride a concrete road in a housing estate again I won't be disappointed.

Cluster now 1460. Next up- Wear Valley to Zunlun. I need to brace myself a bit for that.

Good news: I get to go to Sheepy Magna.  I've already bagged that tile, but there are some adjacent ones I haven't been to yet...

Have they relaxed the rule about visiting comically named villages.? Thank goodness for that. Barton in the beans next.

I believe it's compulsory...

Achievement unlocked:



There was a bag-one-get-one-free offer, so I got Sheepy Paver too:

Also got to see Mount Judd:



Max square now up to 34.
