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.

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.
