1k radius run not quite managed! 😊

Lol it just goes to show that you actually need to measure a distance, not just assume! I was so sure I had nailed Cmoi ’s 1k radius French lockdown challenge, but it turns out I was 1.46k away from home at my furthest distance this morning. I’m just pleased I didn’t get a fine and get sent straight home! Apart from that, it was a nice run, although I went up a local hill which I haven’t done in ages and now I remember why. It’s a stinker! The photos are of a local cemetery πŸͺ¦ which is so pretty first thing.

I hope everyone has a smashing day! 😊

Oh lΓ  lΓ  lΓ  lΓ , well done for trying, and great photos, but most definitely a fine, that's way outside the limit!

Better find some old Euros lurking somewhere 🀣.

Crisp new euros πŸ’Ά only I'm afraid. Or I can accept sterling πŸ’·, there'll just be conversion and administration fees. πŸ€‘πŸ’±πŸ˜ˆπŸ€£

I've got some Tesco "vote for local charity" blue plastic tokens which are exactly the same size as a Euro. Will those count? 🀣

(I use them as trolley tokens.)

Well you're not being fined nowster because you didn't go out of bounds! Sadly I can't accept the tokens either. 🀣🀣🀣

Well done .Love the pictures !

And yes, 1k is a small radius.

I downloaded a location radius app to check before I went out 🀣

A whole bunch of radius apps and programs appeared in France during lockdown! Over the various lockdowns the limit went from 1km, to 10km, to 30km, at which point we discovered that my husband's golf club was literally about 200m inside the boundary!!
