5...4...3...2...1...
Castlegrice can kick back and chill out; Their entrant in The Great Travel Bug Knockout has moved off of the elimination bubble thanks to Scottish cacher Claraloon, who yesterday retrieved George's Fun Bus 2 from the cache that it was resting in, and this morning placed it into this one, adding a vital 80.49 miles to it's distance travelled. This has moved GFB2 ahead of fuzziebear3's Happy Hoppy TB, which I suspect went missing from the cache that it is logged into many months ago...
Meanwhile, Wemnog's The Skylark TB continues to steadily rack up the distance, having added another 10.1 miles after being dropped into this cache, one of the controversial Timberland-sponsored TRAIL OF HEROES series.
In other Knockout news, Oceanblue07970's Half Hearted Travel Bug has finally been left in a cache, rather than just dipped, by French cacher christian35. This interesting looking one, to be precise.
As one cacher finally lets go of an entry in The Knockout, it seems another takes up the dipper's baton, as Slovenian cachers Kassiopeia82 have taken lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer to this cache, and have retained possession of the cud-chewing little trackable.

Is George's Bus still having fun?
5...4...3...2...1...
It's five days until the next elimination from The Great Travel Bug Knockout, and castlegrice's George's Fun Bus 2 has to pack away the surfboards (in Scotland?!) and hit the road if it hopes to pass the probably missing Happy Hoppy TB owned by fuzziebear3.
No such worries for current 2nd-place entry Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug, which, after it's Alaskan adventure, has been dropped into this cache in British Columbia, Canada ready to be retrieved and add to it's distance travelled.
Meanwhile, cooper troopers' the noble traveller has added 436.19 miles to it's distance travelled after being retrieved from the airport cache that was resting in by German cachers forestcats. They brought tnt back to the UK and dipped it into this London cache, before placing the silver TB into this popular one, from where it was quickly retrieved by Dutch cachers Arjan&denise, who have taken the travelling TARDIS back to their native (Nether)land.
Still in the UK, and indeed Greater London, wemnog's The Skylark Travel Bug was placed into this cache by cachers theleverets, adding 6.8 miles it's distance sailed. It was retreived 3 days later by local caching team The 5 Raybould Ramblers.
Finally for today, Slovenian cachers Kassiopeia82 picked up lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 TB from the cache that it residing in and dipped it into this cache, then this one, this one and this one. As per usual Knockout rules, only the first dip counts, so 3.06 miles have been added to HoG1's total distance.

Cancel that visit to the Slovenian china shop...
...there's a bull on the loose, as cacher perhan has dropped lgxkls' Hazards of Geocaching 1 - Karon's Knockout Racer in this cache in the medieval town of Višnja Gora, adding 203.59 miles to it's distance travelled.
In other Knockout news, French cacher christian35 has reminded us that he is still holding oceanblue07970's HalfHearted TB by dipping it into this cache, 6.71 miles away from the last cache that he dipped the shiny broken-hearted Bug into.

Knockout Ferrari and Smart Car 10 both back on the road again
Jacaru can relax, as the owners of the cache that it went missing from, VWjunkies, have revealed that they retrieved Knockout Ferrari from the cache on June 1st.
Also on the move is Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer TB, which was retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by local cacher mr45acp, who then placed it into this cache 1.54 miles away, and from where it has since been snaffled up by fellow Swede Stefan H.

Double Knockout blow for Jacaru's Ferrari?
Jacaru's Knockout Ferrari Travel Bug has suffered a possible double K.O. this week, as firstly it lost it's long-held second place in The Great Travel Bug Knockout to Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB, and then was reported missing by the most recent finder of the cache that it was logged into...!
Speaking of The Knockout's new second-postition holder; Canadian cacher DisneyGirl took LaP(Maan) to this cache in the Alaskan city of Skagway (population 862 - not overly populated for a city!) but the cache was too full to leave it, so just dipped the love-spreading traveller, adding 880.07 miles to it's distance travelled, sufficient to nose ahead of Knockout Ferrari into second place overall. DisneyGirl subsequently dipped LaP(Maan) into this cache too (no milage added due to The Knockout's now infamous first-dip-by-each-cacher-only-to-count rule!) and has retained possession of the Bug.
Other entries on the move include cooper troopers' the noble traveller TB, which has materialised in this cache at the peculiar EuroAirport, which has official joint French and Swiss nationality, and has free access from Germany too. This drop has added 11.73 miles to tnt's race distance, and marks the little TARDIS' second visit to France.
Cooper troopers' friendly local rivals, Smart451 have seen their own Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer Travel Bug log some distance too, firstly cacher pensionist dropped it into this cache in Uppsala, Sweden, adding 119.71 miles to it's official Knockout distance travelled. It was quickly retrieved by visiting Czech cacher satanmar who the very same day placed the little car into this cache 0.44 of a mile away.
Finally, wemnog's The Skylark TB (which has covered 648.81 miles, despite not yet leaving England) has been picked up by cachers theleverets, whom I believe are based in Surrey.

Knockout leader extends it's lead!
Bad news time for all entries except the current Knockout leader, Blid435's BraveHeart Travel Bug, which has recorded it's first milage since early April after New Zealand cacher Mel74 dropped the shiny little heart into this cache, adding 5.12 miles to it's distance travelled.
Another entry may be adding some miles soon, as novice cacher kharaa retrieved cooper troopers' the noble traveller Bug from the German cache that it had been resting in for the last couple of months.

A tale of two cities
With apologies to the great Mr. Dickens, this is indeed a tale of two cities, London and not Paris, but Stockholm.
Camogirl-2007 has placed wemnog's The Skylark Travel Bug into this (Greater) London cache, adding 95.42 miles to it's distance covered, whilst Swedish cacher Stigge took Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer TB from Stockholm and placed it into his own cache in the wilds of Värmland. This appeared at first to be an unfortunate move, despite the 132.33 miles added to SC10KR's milage, due to the cache not being a regularly visited one, but what do you know, later that very same day the little Smart Car was retrieved by cacher pensionist!
Oh, and French cacher christian35 has dipped oceanblue07970's HalfHearted TB into this cache, adding nothing at all to it's official Knockout distance, this being the 27th cache that c35 has dipped it into.

Just where does the time go...?
Sorry for the late update folks, but here's what you have been waiting for, the seventh elimination from The Great Travel Bug Knockout, as we say say goodbye and good riddance to G-X's Voodoo Whodo What You Don't Dare Do People (Racer Bug) Travel Bug, and who better to lament it's passing than shirtless, sweaty, paunchy middle-aged forgotten popstar Brian Setzer?
Bye-bye Voodoo Whodo, and remember, look out for those pins!
This elimination means that George's Fun Bus 2 is next in line for the scrapyard, but GFB2 is fighting back as cacher cumbycritter placed it into this cache in Burns country, close to The Tam O'Shanter Experience, adding 44.91 miles to it's distance travelled.
Another entry on the move is Smart451's Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer Travel Bug, which added 1.46 miles to it's distance travelled when Swedish cacher oskargeo dropped in into this cache, from where it was promptly recovered by fellow Swede Stigge.
Finally for today, wemnog's The Skylark TB increased it's race distance by 35.82 miles when cacher elliott150 placed it into this Gloucestershire cache. It was retrieved two days later by Coventry-based cacher camogirl-2007.
