So, Nicolas and I completed the labyrinth yesterday. There's been a few problems though.

- Of course, we got lost here and there. It ended up not having much consequence on the labyrinth design, but there's one point in the labyrinth which I'm concerned about - it literally collides with another circuit.

- The trackstick worked well for most of the day, but by the evening it just stopped and wouldn't try to sync nor signal its position. I was somehow able to restart it, but that was a close call.

- It also didn't record two parts of our trip - one on the boulevard des Invalides (left of the outer ring) and one as we were heading for Gare de Lyon (bottom right of the outer ring).

Honestly, as I'm typing this on the following morning, I'm quite scared that all these efforts will amount to nothing because of our mistakes. Take a look at the Google Earth export and share what you think ?

It's a fantastic effort and definitely won't come to nothing.

Interesting...I sent an email to Eli this morning about all this and I'm still awaiting an answer. Would that mean making some sort of extra-layer on top of your labyrinth in Google Earth to add notes of where you should have made a turn, etc. ?

To officially add my opinion, I think it looks good, holistically, and that it shall be accepted as a valiant and lovely omphalabyrinth!

So sayeth me. Very Happy

I also admire your walking and taking public transportation to complete it. Very awesome, indeed.

I just have to say "wow". I absolutly like this labyrinth. Without downgrading other ones, my personal opinion is, that this is the best city labyrinth up to now.

If you look at our Munich labyrinth, you can see that we also have had troubles in following our planned route Wink

and had some "trackstick glitches".

You could be very proud of your work.

Sorry for not reacting earlier, these last days of our summer semester are incredibly busy (the semester ends next Saturday, and I've still some papers to mark!), so I didn't log in and posted as often as I used to.

The Paris Omphalabyrinth looks SO great. Don't worry about those minor blemishes - the overall impression is gorgeous, and you really can be proud of yourselves! Very Happy

I realized only today that the short video shot at the end of the Parisian Omphalabyrinth run never made it online on Seero. Said video is now available on YouTube right there for anybody interested. Cheers !
