the prospective tagger could have a bit of fun zeroing in on it.
I spent some time tramping through the undergrowth and emerging onto trails. Several times, cyclists on more appropriate bikes stopped to ask me if I was OK because I was clearly a fish out of water. If Oatsy hadn't turned up and started an increasingly less subtle game of "colder, warmer" I might have spent more time looking for it than I did riding out there.

Ha, oh. Hope you had some fun all the same! Meeting oat44 like that does rather seem like Mary encountering the angel.
Even though the one factor in why this game has stuck around is probably StreetView, I think every once in a while we have to do something that's not on SV.
I only saw three people when I was there, a couple who were going along the trail quite slowly, and the aforementioned fast rider. Like your encounters, they all looked at me a bit as if I was lost, although I tried to do my best impression of purposeful walking. Obviously, LFGSS has always been about using bikes inappropriate for the purpose, so we did our bit.

Brilliant scooter tag.
That was kind of how I imagined the tag might work--I thought the landmark in the background would be enough to give the general area, along with heavy hints as to it being on the MTB trail, and then the prospective tagger could have a bit of fun zeroing in on it.
Glad nobody got hit. When I was there, there was one very fast MTB rider just caning it round the berms.
