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!

Had a mad panic here as the TB had become detached from the keyring and I couldn't find it in my pocket or TB bag. Luckily it had fallen into the side pocket of the car door and I was able to retrieve it when I got back to the car. Phew!
