But if I get the ferry from Southampton I would bag a bunch of squares along Southampton water and the new forest that I’m not going to be able to get to any other way. Given A power stations and an oil refinery. Is that legitimate tactic?
You shouldn't bag squares whilst on the ferry. The ferry isn't being powered by you and it's supposed to be a "human powered" challenge. You either need to walk/run/cycle/swim/kayak/canoe/paddleboard your way along. Walking whilst on a ferry doesn't count.
Looking at https://rideeverytile.com/tiles/heatmap most of the tiles down there are gettable, and notes that many have been got by ferry trips (which isn't in the spirit of it), although the ones just North of Fawley are marked as "hard to visit".
Given my location right on the south coast a max square count is hard work given Southampton water on one side and Portsmouth Harbour etc getting in the way.
It think it’s about time I ride round the isle of wight. Natural I would go to Portsmouth to get the ferry as I know Portsmouth. But if I get the ferry from Southampton I would bag a bunch of squares along Southampton water and the new forest that I’m not going to be able to get to any other way. Given A power stations and an oil refinery. Is that legitimate tactic?
