A tale of distance allowed ...and distance disallowed!

Cacher Nottinghamman has placed wemnog's The Skylark Travel Bug into this interesting Derbyshire cache, overlooking Sir Richard Arkwright's historic Masson Mills, adding 6.72 miles to it's distance sailed. It may be moored here for some time as this is quite a tricky cache to find; I logged a DNF myself on it a few weeks ago and a cacher has already logged a DNF since The Skylark was dropped into it.

The Skylark is barely a quarter of a mile ahead of castlegrice's George's Fun Bus 2 TB in the current Great Travel Bug Knockout placings, after the little VW was retrieved from the Glasgow cache that it was (briefly) resting in by Scottish cachers Sweeney Toddlers. The puntastic Toddlers then dipped GFB2 into this cache, adding 7.8 miles to it's distance travelled, and then this one, adding nothing, and then this one, again adding nothing. The reason that the last two dips adding nothing to GFB2's distance is because only the first placement by a cacher counts towards a Travel Bug's total distance.

Speaking of disallowed milage, current Knockout leader, Blid435's Braveheart TB has been placed into this cache, near to the ghost town of Opepe, but as with George's Fun Bus 2's most recent moves, no distance travelled will be added to Braveheart's official Knockout distance.
