'Link to turf' linky work 👍🏼

But, no, not heard about it until now..

 

[Oldhippy]

Nope.

 

[Drago]

Nope, never 'eard of it. Intriguing though.

I will look at this. There is something similar where you collect tiles but I cannot recall what app it is on.

Don't think I would be willing to abandon my current life to complete this the way this lady appears to have done.

Such is life though and is why people are able to achieve great things but my 50k Sunday jaunt will remain my default setting.

 

[Drago]

It looks a bit like the CycleChat Trig and Benchmark bagging game, but with less exploring and searching involved.

I have had a quick look and it does appear to be another interesting way of getting out and maybe seeing places you have not been to before. There is a competition element to it or you can just go to as many zones as you can. Here is a video explanation I found.

I’d not heard of it until I saw it on the BBC this morning. I found the story odd, it appears to be celebrating something that sounds to me symptomatic of a mental health issue.

Veloviewer I think. A few on here do it.

Seems to be a variation of Geocaching, only there's nothing to find.

 

[Archie_tect]

That's a great way to get the super spreaders out meeting lots of folk...

 

[Edwardoka]

It looks like a cross between Geocaching, Capture the Flag, Ingress, Pokemon Go and the Veloviewer explorer tiles.
A good excuse to go out.
