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.

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.

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.

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.

Catching up on an active Easter
Lots of moves in the second half of this week for entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout; Current leader, Blid435's BraveHeart TB has been retrieved from the cache that it was resting in by New Zealand cacher Mel74.
Current 3rd place entry, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) trackable was placed into this cache by the Canadian cacher that was holding it, adding 21.62 miles to it's distance travelled. It was retrieved the very same day by fellow Canadian gottagonow, who subsequently dipped it into this nearby cache, adding 0.81 of a mile to it's Knockout milage. Gottagonow has retained possession of LaP(Maan), therefore any subsequent dips or placement will not add any official Knockout milage to it's record. LaP(Maan) keeps moving, but appears to be stuck in a sort of "Bermuda diamond" east of Vancouver at the moment. Will Hediya's entry eventually be swallowed up or break out?
Fourth placed entry, cooper troopers' the noble traveller TB, was retrieved from the German cache that it was residing in by cacher tapescript (whom I believe is Swiss, but does much of his caching in Germany). Two days later he dropped tnt into this interesting cache in Germany, sited at the epicentre of a Richter 4.5 earthquake which occured on May 5th 2009. This placement added 8.65 miles to tnt's distance travelled.
Cooper troopers' friendly local rivals, smart451, have had their Smart Car 10 Knockout Racer Travel Bug retrieved from the Swedish cache in which it had passed the last 16 days by Swedish newbies SjöqvistRockers.
16 days is nothing compared to the 73 days that oceanblue07970's Half Hearted Travel Bug spent in a cache in France before being retrieved by experienced French cacher christian35, who the very same day dipped it into this nearby cache, adding 1.14 miles to ½H's distance travelled. Christian35 has since dipped the shiny little trackable into no less than thirteen more caches, none of which add official Knockout milage, and has retained possession.
Finally, as more than one cacher has noted the disappearance of G-X's Voodoo Whodo What You Don't Dare Do People (Racer Bug) TB, I've marked it as whereabouts unknown, hopefully only temporarily!
