@steverob I did the Western half of Aylesbury

You should have detoured into Watermead to grab the two tiles there. One you can get easily via other roads, but the second one it's really the only way to cross it off, so hitting them both on one ride is the easiest way. But at least you did get the Folly Farm tile (opposite side of A413 to Hardwick) which was a pain for me because the first time I didn't go quite far enough so had to do it again!

You can always do that - just one more - and then another and then another. And before you know it you've added another 10 miles to your ride It'll keep for another time.

The benefits of Everytile live view. The tile ticked over when I got to the gate at the start of the grassy bridleway. I had to enter the farm property and go about 20 yards in. I had planned to go 100m or so into the bridleway, but when i saw the grass and saw I'd got the tile, I thought "naaaah - not on my road bike" the tarmac and grit was bad enough as it was. Having a gravel bike makes you fussy

Did this ton ride yesterday with three others from my club. 43 new tiles. Never been over that way (Cirencester/Fairford) before. There were at least five B52s at Fairford.

18 new tiles in South Oxford area today - a targeted mission from the Park and Ride. Gravel bike with lots of bridleways used. You wouldn't want to do it on a road bike (well I wouldn't). Only went wrong once.

Working on my South-West corner today. I conquered the Brize Norton Airbase with military precision. I have a mission planned for South-East fairly soon...
