Wave bye-bye to Billy Bear Racer

It's Elimination Day at The Great Travel Bug Knockout and time to wave bye-bye to our energetic friend, Ve8's Billy Bear Racer who hasn't been seen for several months. Ve8 himself chose this clip to remember his ill-fated Travel Bug by;



I hope that everyone joined in a commemorative Billy walk.

In other Knockout news, while French cacher christian35 has been dipping oceanblue07970's Half Hearted TB into the following dozen caches in central France, adding no official Knockout distance travelled whatsoever, wemnog's The Skylark Travel Bug has leapfrogged both Half Hearted  and fuzziebear3's Happy Hoppy TB into 8th place in The Great Travel Bug Knockout. The Skylark was retrieved on April 14th from the Nottinghamshire cache that it was resting in by Dorset cachers Mattaharry, who, despite my email enquiries, have not yet logged the little dinghy into their possession. They then subsequently placed it into this cache, adding 171.23 miles to The Skylark's distance travelled. This, of course, assumes that it was not dipped into any other caches along the way; the official milage can be adjusted later if other information is received. The Skylark was then retrieved on April 28th by experienced Oxfordshire-based cacher Queen of Maps.
