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

I have no recollection 😅
Though my map says it is a vineyard! 🍷

I'd suggest just A46'ing that one, but I don't have local knowledge, and I am the guy who rode on the A34 to efficiently nab some awkward tiles...

A46 looks positively inviting by comparison, if you aim for a quiet time.

I haven't got that one yet, but I'd go on the A46 from the east, get into the square and turn around You'll only be on the A46 for a few minutes doing it like that.

Looking at google streetview, there is a path on one side. If I got there and it was busy I'd use the path.

One hole nicely ticked off this evening.

For what remains of Dorset, two larger holes and some tricky coastals.

A46 looks busy but it's not a dual carriageway, with the right wind and on the right day I'd would have had a go in the past, however now I would attempt the tile from the South by gravel bike.

I took the Gravel bike to work again and extended the PM Commute to get 10 more tiles leaving me at:

 

[Supersuperleeds]

15 new squares today, increased the cluster by 19 and the max square by 1 to 58x58

Looking at the Leaderboard, I'd say you are just about unassailable

You'll surprise yourself how quickly you can get to that size. You do have to be a single minded sad b*****d though

Just flicking around and looked at this thread. I never knew the Tile Count was a "thing" Just looked on Veloviewer and I have 7,376 tiles: Max Square 9 x 9: Max Cluster 512

Is that good, bad, average or doesn't it matter?

The above was 22nd May.

I'm now
7,503 tiles
16 square
640 Cluster

Improving but a long way to go. I think I can mainly suss who is who on the Leaderboards

If you choose to target local tiles and run a computer with chrome os there is an extension that overlays velo veiwer tiles on Strava route planner

You may have already said, but do you have the link to it?
