Last Day!

Today is the last day of the race. We will be posting the results of the race in about 1 week time, this is so we can give cachers some time to log any visits by the travelbug.

Bruce - MIA

Looks like Bruce is missing in action. After being in the hands of a cacher for over 3 months, he got dropped on 27 July. Four days later he was reported as missing from the cache, and hasn't been seen since. :(

The great dip

Thank you Themar from the Netherlands - no more information required!!

Reveab is on the move!

Thanks to BV51 for picking up reveab!

After languishing for over 2 months in a very difficult multi-cache.

How to help a travelbug in a race ...

Though we are grateful to people who help travel bugs in travelbugs in races, a simple tip for those who would like to help....

please place travel bugs in traditional cache and not multi-cache

my travel bug has been placed in a multi-cache with a difficulty of 4/5 with a 4km walk........

thanks very much ;-(

Next Year's Race

I know it's a bit early but I reckon we might already have the theme for our next race. As it is traditionally inspired by the loser of the previous race I'm guessing on next years theme being....

Beer.

Now, to some of you, it may not be clear why I've come up with this theory but that's coz I've got a little (or not so little in this case) insider info.

Rich, in a moment of inspiration/mental-spazisity, decided that to represent the beaver on his travel bug with a beer-pump clip. The more alcoholicly inclined of you will be aware they ain't exactly small and now he's not found anywhere big enough to stick his bug.

So at present, 2 months into a 6 month race, he hasn't launched yet. Start looking now for your beer inspired tag dangler.

Google Docs is playing up

You may, or may not (depending on if you've scored lately (in the challenge not in real life (we're all too geeky for that sort of thing (except where we managed to find another geek)))) have noticed that the published-public version of the score chart no longer has the 'Edit this page' link at the bottom.

Dunno why - there are several open queries on the Google Docs help forum. In the meantime you'll have to log into Google and find the document there.

Bloody 'pooters - all rubbish an' stuff init!

What is wrong with people??!! `

What it so difficult to understand about TB races? My bug was picked up the day after I placed it and that person held onto it for a month. The day after they placed it it was picked up by someone else who has now had it for three weeks! If they'd left it where it was it might have been picked up and dropped off numerous times by now!!

Rant over. :-)

Bulli Blasts Off

Bulli Beaver braved the Icelandic ash and zoomed up to Scotland 359.99 miles.

Majavat may be lost :-(

The cache that Majavat was placed in yesterday is now offline after being 'spoilt by local kids'. I'm not sure if Majavat was still in it as, between him being dropped off, and the cache being taken offline someone did post that they had picked up a couple of trackables. We'll have to wait and see.....
