Current Goal

Hey All!

I'm a travel bug with a difference.

Born in Braintree (Essex), I wanted to get to the Isle of Wight by the end of May 2014.  My owners were off on holiday to the IoW during the last week of May and I was to stay in a geocache close to their holiday cottage...it's rather cosy!

Unfortunately, I went AWOL - but hurrah I have been found again!  So, I have a new challenge in order to be reunited with my owners back in Essex.

The geocache I want to visit is now GC4WB43 (Oi-Hoppit!) in Braintree, Essex.

Please help make it possible for me to get back to my owners.   They miss me like mad, and  I'm keen to get back in my own bed!  They will be watching closey to see how I get on...

Many thanks - let the challenge begin!

Little Martha helped me drop this one off. Think I've converted her from muggledom!

We are unable to help this TB onward to its destination, so have left it for the next cacher who can.

Appologies to this Bug Owner - We picked it up while on Rugby Tour in The isle of White in April last year. So not only did we prevent it from doing its goal, but also lost it for nearly a year as we moved house.

It has now been found again but it has travelled over 10,000 miles with us inadvertently.

We can get it it to the isle of white again in April / May 2015 not 2014 so one year late or we can let if free now or send it by post to the owners.

We are very sorry.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 10/1/2014 The4Fullers grabbed it   Visit Log

Left and picked back up again - It needed to touch down in the states and come back home to UK Again more accurately - "The ISle of White"

Mark Missing 6/1/2014 flossregularly marked it as missing   Visit Log

The owner has set this Trackable as missing.

Write note 5/17/2014 Bean & Sprout posted a note for it   Visit Log

I have tried contacting all the cachers who visited the cache after this was dropped back in the cache we left it in and up to it was reported as missing, but only a couple have responded.

Another TB we dropped in the IOW during our visit was moved to another cache without being logged out and in, so possibly the same has happened to your TB. That doesn't help you with finding it during your holiday unfortunately, but hopefully it wil turn up at some point.
