Veloviewer Tile Bagging?

55 squadies to increase my yardino by 419 is a pretty good ratio :)

How many more like these are in your data?

Nice. My best yardino increase so far, and probably ever, was 394 for 8. Got kudos from The Squadrofunkulus which was nice.

Did you plan these largeish chunks which you then connected?

No. One was centered on home, the other on work. I did make an effort to join them as my commute needed widening. My first join attempt failed when I missed a key square but it meant the actual join ride was a high ratio.

It's a while back but...

That's just a long ride. I'm talking about expanding a yard/ino.

I guess I was just missing some squares for my commute across London.

I can't be arsed to grow my 20x20 square or 1000 tile home cluster this year so I was thinking of starting a new challenge. I have to travel for work so I thought I would try to create as many 10x10 squares or 100 tile clusters as possible. Does that make sense?

The only problem with that is you have to add up the squares yourself

True, it would be great if the apps provided support for this idea. Anyways, not really that keen on the numbers anymore so I can just look at the map and pat myself on the back. Another idea is I would like to connect the clusters by riding and create a biggest possible area inside.

Numplumz rode the coast of the UK, so I guess that's the biggest you can do here.

37 bigguns today and grew my square by 5. Go me.

Jonathan France started following me. Looking for tips on his missing squadies out west I wonder? :D

I had a feeling he was on here?

France

Must all be 'foreign' to him out here?

It is a bit funny to see France covering so much of England.

Autobahnraststätte today. East and West.

this one is a shit. I think there are some steps i can get to over an iron fence on north side to get down at low tide. Anyone done similar? where did you go down to the water?

Lots of exposed shingle showing on the Google aerial photo and someone got down at low tide a few years ago to take a photosphere. This looks a lot like a gate in the railings but hard to be sure.

I have to confess to benefiting from a bit of GPS wobble to get that one. One day I'll go over all those slightly dodgy ones. When I do, I think I'd target this from the SW - the riverfront terrace outside the Battersea development seems to just nip into that corner.

I take it you can't get onto that jetty bottom right?

Bottom left looks like you could swing your arm over a fence for it, perhaps or get onto the sandy bit?

From the south there is currently barriers up to stop getting any closer than my lines currently do. And yeah the jetty it all closed off.

@jellybaby that is a gate to go down some dodgy looking stone stairs. Its is padlocked - i think this is the way to do it but i wasnt sure on legality / how odd i will look

if i can read the tides website correctly i think my best chances are 27th or a v low tide on 12th March. I`ll keep you updated

thanks

Where’s the best place to get auto of the car and check the booth is closed?

You are mostly allowed to walk on the foreshore. There are a few bits where you aren't because of dangerous structures or the Palace of Westminster etc but I think that stretch is okay. I'd climb the gate ay my own risk if I was there. If you had a foreshore permit you would be able to dig to 7.5cm in that area. https://www.pla.co.uk/Environment/Thames-foreshore-permits has a link to a map of restrictions (https://gis.pla.co.uk/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=5f5f552365114082963ad4ffb3a6b17f)

The PLA tide tables can be handy for planning trips: https://www.pla.co.uk/assets/platidebooklet2024.pdf

Great predictive text misfire.

As for your question, I don't know which booth you mean, and why. I can't see anything like that in the aerial image.
