Velo Viewer

[UphillSlowly]

When out on a ride there is a mobile app " explorer help for velo viewer " which will confirm your GPS location on a map with the velo viewer grid so you can confirm you have entered the tile

Awesome I will.check it out. Ironically I checked the end point of my dead end for the furthest tile by going on to VV website. Had same stresses about getting Simon Warren's hills "right"

I plotted a route quite quickly last night for the commute which I knew would get me a few tiles, 7 was the result. Lol with a little bit more clever route planning I could have bagged a few more with minimal diversion from the plotted route, eg the Hall Grove Square (my route passed a few metres outside its northwest corner:

Thanks. I probably have the most challenging set up. Use Komoot to plan (handy for holidays to plan on the mobile) and have a Wahoo Bolt. Don't really need Strava Subscription to plan routes and know where I am on leaderboards. Will just have to be more careful in future...

Not tried it myself as I don't use Komoot but this might help: https://www.statshunters.com/faq-16-how-to-easy-plan-routes-for-tiles-(chrome-/-firefox-extension)

I followed a route yesterday to nab a tile that would extend my square number. It followed a path into a golf club, past the Pro shop and onto the coutrse. I was on my race bike. I got off and walked as far as I dared onto the course and found this morning when I checked VV that I had not quite walked far enough.

I can nab it by going down a mile of the very busy A46 which is what I'll probably do (carefully) today

Last week I nabbed a tile going up a Private Road off a route I ride all the time. There was some amazing scenery and houses there which I'd never have seen if not for this exercise.

Getting in to the spirit of square grabbing 😃. If you run an android phone check the app mentioned on page 104 it can confirm your in a square while out and about

If it is the A46 stretch between Stratford upon Avon and Coventry, let me know which square it is as I've got all those and haven't had to do the A46 for any of them.

Unable to install on my phone. Install button greyed out and doesn't show up when I search for it.
Never mind, may be my phone...

Cheers, I have it now but interested how you got it. It is the tile between Snitterfield and the A34 to Stratford.

I thought it might be that one. End of Kings Lane there is a track that goes into the square. If I remember correctly it was tarmaced

I think there is a cafe where you went in and out, the track I used is the one to the left
