I’m about to join this tile / square collecting as something to do locally during lockdown. It’s the pro / £10 a year account I need isn’t it?

Yes

Be warned it can be addictive

Oh I’m sure but I am sure it’ll generate some different routes as I try and collect “missing” squares. Routes I wouldn’t have normally chosen. So it’ll add variety during lockdown to stop me getting bored with doing the same local rides and routes.

The filling in missing squares is by far the best bit of it.

Its interesting though as we all have different techniques for square grabbing, I often prefer not to make my rides too knotty else I feel I'm not making progress on the ride itself. It does often mean I need 2 rides to make large gains

Hi everyone,
I have been aware and noting the explorer tiles for a couple of years, mostly as a by-product of my rides but just before Christmas decided to focus a little more on filling in the gaps and go tile hunting, always starting from home in east London. Before we knew about lockdown I gave myself a non-deadline aim to get all the tiles within the M25...now i'm not going out at all at the moment but I have had the time to route 20 rides of circa 100km to bag all those missing tiles and just waiting for restrictions to lift...nice to read some shared experience and tips here.

Amazing! My cluster has a fair bit of London in now but I wouldn't want to do all the inner-m25 squares!!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I've done all the M69 squares

Were you the cyclist who was stopped by the police on the M69 last week? Just part of their daily excercise 🙄😂

Grabbed two squares today which took me from max square of 7x7 to 10x10. What is the size of your max square? Mostly off road so far, to collect the missing squares.

Mines 52x52

 

[Global Nomad]

2805 tiles, average of 9.397 km per tile
Max square 13x13
Max Cluster: 352

there's a lot of not very nice bits and plenty of knotty rides to reach some difficult bits, surprisingly large amount of 'wilderness' too
