Mileage Competition 2008

[Techniquest]

Can I be boosted to 8,500 please? I can't be more exact as I need to spend about 3 hours working out the exact chainage, but that's roughly it from calculations in my head.

 

[Proud Salopian]

We can't have rough figures like that! :eek:

 

[Jordy]

No, we cant! Work it out properly!

 

[JoshW1992]

I'm now up to 3630... Not much since my last count, but every mile counts I suppose

 

[1D53]

This weekends South West bash has got me upto:

8,460 miles.

 

[Jordy]

Done

 

[Techniquest]

No, we cant! Work it out properly!

Being a little more exact, my mileage appears to be (maybe 1 chain off either way, but merr) 8,630 miles, 46 chains.

 

[Jordy]

Done, you overtook me - can't be having that!

 

[BJMorley]

Well, I mostly travel with my family around places, and all the trips I can remember, Ive counted them up, and totalled them. They mght not be exact, but it's around 2747.5 miles. Ill add up all my totals for journeys Ive done myself later!!

I can't be arsed to update mine anymore. I've done roughly 2k since I last updated it, including 415 miles of Deltic.
I'm still beating Loader though, so it's all good.

Brandon

 

[EE Type 3]

Just re-worked mine, not much but hey :-P

 

[BJMorley]

My altogether total, with chains added is 2258 Miles.
2008 total with chains is 841 Miles.
I don't get chains at all, even though 156401's explained it to me!! :? :? :?

[will1337]

3212 please, no overtaking

 

[37412]

Exact Total!! 2238 Miles, 1563 Chains!!

I thought there was only 80 chains in a mile, so how can you have that total. If i'm right (please correct if not) you need to divide 1563 by 80, however many times 80 goes into it will then by added to your miles and the remainder will be the chainage?!

Indeed, I posted a spreadsheet that works it all out automatically...

 

[Techniquest]

Helps to have done 546 miles one weekend followed by about 360 the following weekend, not to mention many big trips before that! It is as they say 'Every little helps'!:grin:

Going to get myself to about 9,000 in a couple of weeks time. Bring it on...I'm after a Top 5 position by the end of the year!

 

[BJMorley]

I don't get chains, I put how many chains into the calculator, and it said
Answer: 1563 ch. = 19.5375 mi.
OR 19 mi. and 946.0 yd,
so I added it to the total, which is 2258 miles.
Right then, I'll redo it:
2008: 841 Miles, 45 Chains
Total: 2257 Miles, 54 Chains
That better?
Brandon

 

[37412]

2008: 841 Miles, 45 Chains

Brandon

Yep, sounds about right! You were missing out on quite a few miles there due to the fact chainage doesn't get put on the main page, and you can claim 2258 miles in that case as it is over 40 chains you just round it up

Has Gizmogle been banned again, or is her username title thingy out of date?

If she has been banned again, who's in charge? :-?
