I'm back!
I'm sorry for the lack of updates over the last week, but computer bugs have intervened. Nevermind, The Great Travel Bug Knockout is still in full swing, but not for
thejellybabies' My Little Eye TB, whose hopes blinked out on February 1st. Bizarrely enough, someone has sinced logged a retrieval on it, but too late!
Other movers and shakers over the last week have been;
Hediya's
Love and Peace (Maan) Travel Bug, which has been retrieved by Canadian cachers
teammelbert;
cooper troopers' the noble traveller TB, which was placed into
this cache in a northern suburb of
Paris, adding 164.45 miles to it's distance travelled and moving up one place in the overall Knockout rankings. Only 4 days later
tnt was retrieved by French cacher
daniel95. Mention of
the noble traveller gives me a good excuse to use this picture;
of
tnt before being placed in it's starting cache. Always nice to add an extra photo to the blog!
Another Bug to add to it's distance travelled was
Wemnog's
The Skylark which was placed into this
popular TB hotel, adding 110.83 miles to it's distance travelled. Local East Midlands cacher
plantsman soon retrieved the little dinghy and moved it along to
this well-researched Derbyshire cache, adding a further 17.28 miles, giving
The Skylark an official Knockout distance travelled of 242.99 miles.
Finally, what could be described as a negative move rather than a positive one, as
Happy Humphrey's
Scary Halloween Monster has been marked missing and I've therefore marked the frightening little TB as
current whereabouts unknown. This is especially relevant as
SHM is in 15th and last place of the surviving entries in
The Great Travel Bug Knockout.
