→CSL on zone making
"Now that we can travel more widely, I've enjoyed turfing in new areas - the turf zones usually take you to unusual places. I was pleased to have the chance to visit [[Kommun:Rochdale|Rochdale]], in [[Kommun:Lancashire|Lancashire]], recently. This is one of the towns where I did my apprenticeship as a [[Zonmakare|zonemaker]], and it was interesting to see some of "my" zones at last! Creating zones is a slow business, and the [[Zonmakare|zonemakers]] all do it in their spare time. I've noticed some comments on the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] chat recently from people who say they've made lots of suggestions but not seen any new [[zon]]es in their area. There are only about 20 of us for the whole world, so please be patient! Coverage in the [[Land:Storbritannien|UK]] is patchy, and we try to make new [[zon]]es in the places with most activity, but of course this is hard to judge."
I can only agree with [[Användare:CSL|CSL]] how fun and interesting it is to visit places where you have made the zones. I spent three weeks in [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] in September/October doing just this. It was great fun to travel by car and bike thru [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]], meeting local turfers and taking over 1100 [[Zon#Unik_zon|unique zones]]. It also became very obvious that most [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] cities are severely under-zoned. Nowhere were we close to a [[Eager Ferret|Ferret]] or a [[Eager Weasel|Weasel]] (10 zones in 10 respectively 15 min), we didn't even make a [[Eager Beaver|Beaver]] (10 zones in 20 min) in [[Kommun:Hamburg|Hamburg]] or [[Kommun:Berlin|Berlin]] where the zone density is better than in most other [[Land:Tyskland|Germany]] cities. Perhaps part of the problem was we were turfing during day time with heavy traffic all around, but it also became obvious how far it is between the zones once you leave the city centre, and some of these cities are spread over a very large area. On the way home thru [[Land:Sverige|Sweden ]] we stopped in [[Kommun:Vaggeryd |Vaggeryd]] for unique zones and had no problem at all to take a Weasel on lovely bike paths and with almost no traffic in sight on a Sunday afternoon.
