I'm up to 17x19 now, only a few squares to recover back to 23x23

Looks like clumps may be the new max squares: https://explorersquare.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/clump-examples/

I quite like it as an idea as I'm a little constrained by Nottingham and Derby to the north and Leicester to the south which I'd rather avoid so I could easily have a clump that does just that and caters to my trips toward Lincoln. Any other have thoughts on it?

Indeed, you can now see your "max clump" on your activities tab, mine is 637 squares!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Max clump for me is 803

 

[HorTs]

I lost about 240 tiles in the great cull :-(

 

[Supersuperleeds]

My job is done. I am 20th on the leaderboard for max square

Won't last long though once everyone starts clawing back their lost squares

I think max clump / cluster lacks the geometric elegance of max square, but who cares, its only a game ;-))

I like the max clump as it is making me look at squares further away from the max square than I would normally look at.

Fair point, when planning a ride for my own enjoyment I prefer to go somewhere distant I haven't been to before. My extremely short max-square career has taken me to some enjoyable local lanes though. I need to re-read the cluster rules in order to understand how choice of route/new squares affects the max cluster statistic.

Now back up to 17 x 17.

Not sure how many tiles I've lost overall, there are only a few that I've specifically targeted since starting on this mission - most have been lost due to the removal of the 100m grace we had.

With hindsight I should have made sure of those targeted squares but wanted to spend as little time as possible on those 'Private Roads'.

The positives to come out of this recent update are that we now have a truer square count and I don't have to plan such long routes - for a while anyway.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Now back to 24x24

Now off the leaderboard

 

[tallliman]

Well done, I need time to do some non-commuting rides to get my square back up.

You're going to regret not doing that square with me and @tallliman near the River Trent on the last Lincoln ride
