50 new squares today in Cambridgeshire, to get to 40 x 40. It was quite a nice day, after it stopped raining. Unfortunately my so-called ”waterproof” boots had already filled with water by then, and never dried out, despite a couple of stops to wring out socks.

A ride from Aalter to Brussels finished off my year, work and other commitments prevent me from riding for the next few days.
total tile count rose from 28158 to 32336 , square only from 33 to 35 but the cluster increased from 3251 to 5336.

So the important year end stats. 950 more tiles (total 5151) meaning my max square went up by 6 (now 31) and cluster went up by 748 (2547 total)

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Max square went up by 8 (52)
Cluster went up by 873 (3,732)

7 little stragglers got this past weekend (1 Saturday and 6 today)
managed to get my max square to 13x13 now.

847 new squares (4863 total)
43 x 43 max square (up from 40 x 40)
575 increase in max cluster (2560 total)

Hoping to increase the max square a bit further yet, 50 is probably the limit before I hit a big urban area that I'd rather not bother with (Nottingham). To do this I also need quite a few squares that have some 'off-roading' aspect to them so really need to wait until things dry up in the spring.

Happy square hunting to you all in 2020.

Nottingham isn't too bad to get to be fair. If you do head this way and you want some slow company I'm sure we could arrange a forum ride.

Thanks for the offer, I've got quite a lot of work to get there first !

@wajc

How did you get this square? There looks like there may be a farm track going into it but I'm not sure if it is a public right of way

 

[wajc]

That's quite an easy one to get to. Just head down Southmoor Lane which is a paved road that eventually leads to a farm - there were no restricted access signs and it seemed to be just like any other country lane to me. Before you get too far (about 500m) take the turn on the left to the oil wells. This was fine as well as it's a service road (concreted or at least hard-packed ground IIRC). You need to go right up to the gate to claim the square but you could go beyond this and walk down the side of the compound if you felt the need to.

Top tips - don't smoke and watch out for slippery patches

Cool, was looking at that square too. Most of the ones toward Nottingham (and the city itself) are quite easily grabbable.
