No offence taken. We have taken your concerns on board and will now try to only visit any TB into 1 or 2 caches we do on a specific day unless the aim of the TB is to travel as far as possible. Today we have placed all the TB's we had in our care and now only have 2 which are not ours (which we have picked up one on Friday and the other today) and we intend to be more selective in the future, we did take the camera with us today with the intention of taking some photos but it didn't come out of the rucksack as is the norm.

We had that TB for 9 days, we took it to 180 caches (could have been more if the weather was kinder) we took it to at least 4 different counties which was it's aim, we didn't keep it, yes we could have placed it in the very next cache we found but that would have moved it less than half a mile and it would have been in the same county. At no point during our guardianship did we think we were doing anything wrong and at no point did we have any communication with it's owner saying they were not happy with the TB 'visiting' caches. We would have stopped any 'visits' if we had. We do read a TB's mission when we log them and do try to fulfil the mission or at least help it on it's way. Yes we are guilty of not taking photos but we don't take many photos of anything anyway and that isn't likely to change. At the end of the day the TB has a few hundred miles added to the clock,a bit like my car, it visited at least 4 new counties/regions and most importantly it was passed onto an experienced reliable team of cachers to continue it's journey and not left in a dodgy cache in a high muggle area. Again we apologies if the owner has been inconvenienced by our actions. We would suggest in future if the TB owner has any issues with what the current holder of the TB is doing a polite email outlining the issues should be sent rather than discussing the issues without the holder being aware of there being a problem, not everyone registered on the website reads the forums. We rarely do, we glean our info from Faceache and we have only ever posted 3 posts, this being #3. Drew and Kaz

This thread has just been brought to our attention. First of all an apology to the owner of the tag, sorry. Had you contacted us to ask us to stop the tag from visiting each cache we have found we would have stopped immediately. Of the 100+ tags we have found this is the first instance we are aware of which visiting caches has caused any problems with the owner. The Tag was dropped off last week and was picked up by someone we knew who was going to be travelling to the South of England. We normally keep a tag for a couple of weeks and try to fulfil any tasks they have been set. We have set free a few travel bugs and have asked that they are visited to each cache the finder of the TB finds. Again we are sorry to have caused any problems. Drew and Kaz

The ones which Happy Humphrey recommend are good, we did them in May, also worth seeking is Holes in walls http://coord.info/GCAFE6. If numbers are your thing we can heartily recommend the Yorkshire Mega series 2 http://coord.info/GC2V5AR which is about a half hour drive out of York, we did that series over 2 days but you can do it in 1.
