  • 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".

  • It's only the tiles visited by people who have:-

    • Joined the RideEveryTile Strava group
    • Marked their activities as public
    • Done so before the most recent data grab

    So there will be plenty of tiles that have been visited hundreds/thousands of times but they're just not being grabbed by the scripts that suck the data from Strava.

    There were a few that I knew I'd visited that weren't showing up and, after making the appropriate changes they eventually showed up.

    Looking at the website (bottom left) the last data grab was on 15th May so it's not exactly done frequently let alone automatically.
