Paul-Kent Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good 250 mile ride out today completing my local area.This year is more challenging as access to the places arent always where the postcode denotes.Roll on the warmer weather so I can load up my camping gear and get a few weekend rides in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Lots of folk getting started - I'm waiting for better weather so I can get a full weekend in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I finally got my first few in the bag today, and learnt a useful lesson in the process: planning a route is all very well, but it really helps to write a list of where you're planning to go too. Thanks to a little sat nav confusion and not remembering the names on any of the pubs I was aiming for, I managed two stops at the wrong damn pubs! Hopefully I'll be better prepared next time.

priest Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 First ride out having relocated to Norfolk a very nice and sunny Sunday here, so another bunch of local tags done, still a bit cold for a long ride.Also i should be able to offer an overnight accommodation (for a pint or five ) for those trying to complete local tags. Get in touch if interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 That was a busy week for tags, table and scores updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Updated Map Listing (added a few Post Codes and corrected a couple of spelling errors). Don't forget, if the 'Tag' is difficult to get to for a picture, then the sign with the tag name on it is OK.NB. Orford Castle is at the end of a good biking road!

priest Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 what a cr*p weather in wales over the weekend!Friday was perfect, sunny and warm, however things have changed on Saturday. raining as hell, got completely soaked by midday, i mean completely. My mobile phone could not handle that level of abuse and died due to suspected water damage with all the pics on it! so looks like i am up for another trip to north wales if i can't recover the phone memoryasked a stranger to take a pic of me and Aberystwyth and at Argos at 10am on sunday for a cheap photo camera.Sunday went a bit better, got soaked only by 4 pm, so that's a bonus.As soon as i left wales and entered england on monday the sun came out.wish i'd stayed at home this weekend really cheers to everyone who survived will be uploading pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefly76 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 There is a pub near me called the three horseshoes. If I get a pic with that will I get points for three (tuns) and horseshoes? Or just horseshoes..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 The two different Pub tags in question are:The HorseshoeThe Three TunsWe would accept three Horseshoes as the Horseshoe but not three Tuns as having anything to do with it!

Westbeef Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just having a nosey at this, I understand the pubs but not sure what is required for the groups/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 The 'Groups' are simply that - groups of 'tags' more or less grouped in the same geographical area.If you follow the link to the map, all the tags (apart from the Pubs which are your choice as to where you go for them) are listed in groups and identified by different coloured 'pins' on the map.You score 10 points per tag and a 'bonus' of 50 points when you complete a 'group' - So each 'group' (including Pubs) is worth 150 points.Simples!
