Geocaching is now 50% less hazardous!

Yes, The Sheep has gone, although I may possibly have spotted the woolly character indulging in R&R when I visited Cornwall recently...

Meanwhile, the top 2 entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout continue to make moves (albeit tiny ones), as Australia cacher Fullboar2010 has added 1.82 miles to Team Blid435's BraveHeart TB by placing it into this cache, and Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug has been retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by Canadian cacher woodleg.as.

It's getting closer to shearing time...

5...4...3...2...1...

Still no sign of any movement for mat smith's Hazards of Geocaching 2 (The Sheep) Travel Bug, but good news for both of the leading contenders in The Great Travel Bug Knockout;

Team Blid435's  BraveHeart continues it's Antipodean adventure, having been retrieved by local Queensland cacher Fullboar2010 from the TB Motel that was checked into, although Love and Peace (Maan) (owned by Hediya) may have caught a crab in Canada, after cacher geric1 dropped it into this puzzle cache, 61.06 miles from where he picked it up 3 days ago.

Leaders check into Motels, 3rd place checks out?

Just as it looked like nothing would be happening this month, all of the top 3 entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout make moves;

Current leader Team Blid435's BraveHeart TB has been dropped into this Australian TB Motel, near to Cairns in Queensland, adding a respectable 2331.61 miles to it's distance travelled. Hopefully the shiny little trackable will be safe there, as a couple of recent finders have reported syringes and drug parafernalia in the immediate area.

Not to be left behind, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug has taken up residence in this recently-placed TB Motel east of Montreal in the Canadian province of Quebec, adding 2309.72 miles to it's total milage.

Meanwhile, cacher Jacaru has passed ownership of his 3rd-placed entry, Knockout Ferrari, on to newbie cacher j33pster, who has marked KF as missing. I've attempted to contact Californian cachers VWjunkies who were holding the little spotscar, but they haven't replied and are apparently no longer actively caching. This doesn't neccessarily mean that Knockout Ferrari is out of the competition, as TBs do seem to have the abilty to turn up anywhere at any time!

I'm off for an internet-free week in Cornwall, so probably there'll be lots of movements in the next 7 days! I'll catch up next week and, hopefully, finally get those pictures of the winner's trophy posted.
