Due to not really having enough time to look after these Series of Caches I have decided to put then up for adoption
. Many Cachers and Cacherettes have had a lot of fun doing this series, and it seems a shame to Archive them. These are all Old School Caches..Born 2005. Cunning hides, some great views and a box at the end with goodies in 
.I hope that one of the finders of Alpha Quset-Z (GCRK3F) will take up this role. It may be to much for one person?
Failing this i will either
1: Nominate the nearest Cacher/Cacherette to this cache
2: Consider splitting between teams
I will need to visit Alpha Quest-I to retrieve any `Funny Money` thats is in here. I will donate this to the New Owners chosen Charity
If interested then email me. Will They Live On
I will update this topic in a few days with the outcome

I have hopefully now sorted out the TB mileage list.The cachers/cacherettes that have supplied there Info on there TB have been added.
As with regards my TB being in someones pocket.to be dipped in and out of caches but not really free.This TB in question did complete its first mission by the help of many cachers.When she was released again with a different mission,it is exactly what says on the tin...to complete its mission.Some TBs and gold are left to roam freely..so i understand where you are coming from.but if i get one that is on a mission I try to help it reach its goal....without getting lost along the way.I am happy that goldohulk has possesion as he always uploads great pics of her travels in her quest to get to the end...and i know she is safe,

Thanks Cachers and Cacherettes for supplying this Info on TB Mileage.I think we are on to something here
..I am Dtrawing up a list and will put on here tomorrow with.I will update this the more info i get.As there many Travel Bugs out there with Tags,so are there many coins out there that track mileage..i think these should be included in the list..Options on that appreciated?
There is also the matter of a TB I gave to Sue from Phillimore Clan for her Birthday..Not to be placed in a cache,but from Cacher to Cacher Only so not logging any Mileage...even if a cacher who lives miles apart when given it...so at best could only estimate mileage...Options on that appreciated?
There is also Personal TBs...i a living TB and log myself in and out caches so as i can see just how many miles i have covered in the years of playing this hobby..sport or more often then not an aaaaaaaddddiiiiicccctttiiioonnnn
....are these to be included?....i knew a Pilot who does the same and his mileage was HUGE ...(will check if still active).....Do we include these/us..i am in a mind to say Yes as the mileage has been done..and i live in a little house which is about the size of a large Ammo Box! and I seem to always be left in the dark
....Should i include them/Us.Options on that appreciated?
Nice One Peeps for help out here,Bye

I started a thread a few months ago about the amount of mileage covered by a still active TB.After much searching i can only come across the Chart `Oldest TB still in action`.It does show mileage but just because it may have been released a million years ago,this does not guarantee it will have covered a million miles.As i have not found any data to compare with i am at a loss as to how high one of my TBs would rank.How can i make a `Compare your TB Mileage List`,where if you have a well traveled bug you can quiet easily see where you rank.I have not a clue who owns the most traveled TB or what the mileage is
With this in mind i would like cachers with TBs around to look at there mileage and if they have one that has covered a lot of miles to respond to this thread.....lets see who owns what and how far...i do not know how this thread will go...if anywhere...or it might become a source of good info
I will start it of with
A-Z World Tour has hit 82810 miles
having already covered 5694 miles on it first mission
Total Mileage= 88504
Who has more or less miles on there TB so we can start to compare each others mileage....Hope some off you cachers/cacherettes find this of interest
-
Thank you for the link...Yes indeed does show oldest..but oldest does not make it the furthest traveled...as you know a bug can get stuck in a cache for a very long time and go no where.Mine was released in 2004,but its the amount of miles traveled for a still active bug i am seeking...if there is no table to compare,do you think it would be a good idea for me to start one?
-
WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY ......looks like its right up there....and my other one Me is also well on its way....not sure whether if at the top as you are right there is no real mileage Table .....do you think i should start one?..all input greatly appreciated...feeling well chuffed
-
I was given this link to find out if my active TB is one of the most travelled and is still going strong...it would seem that this little lady is up there with the big boys and girls..A-Z Head...is there a mileage record,and if so,how many miles..better still,am i at the top
!...thank for all input. -
Thank you MrB for your link....will check it out....will report back
-
That's a fantastic mileage for one little TB!
This question comes up regularly on the travel bug forum but there's no exact answer because many cachers don't use the forums so they don't know if their TB is "exceptional". Also many TBs get lost and then re-released as Copies so they continue their mileage but not as the original TB.
Here's a recent topic about old TBs and mileages - I think you should post your TB's Claim to Fame here:
"Oldest Living trackables" (with mileages)

I wish you luck finding this one without a spoiler A Tricky find....many cachers/cacheretes have tried,many have failed.Some coming from miles away...and may not be able to return...you do not have to click on a spoiler picture if you dont want to see it,so think its fair for those who wish to....we all have our ways of doing things...i have used a metal detector in the past to find ones i just could not find and had not hint or spoiler.... luckily had a wire bound book or a metal pen clip in the cache...I once waited for someone to find it a stick a TB in it..straight out there..cache found by fair means or foul...you decide!.Wish you well in your searches..take care

Speak soon Tony through profile

It is sometimes very hard to get things just right to please to reviewers...but trust me keep at it....remember it could be worse as anyone familiar with the fight i had with the powers to be Your havin a laugh...and i still lost even though it was active for years and cachers loved it....i nearly threw in the tail then and am still bitter how it seemed to be one way traffic.....i received one email from GC and that was to tell me to shut up and go away....i was mad.. murderous.....took me months of therapy to get over it!...in fact not over it!.....still resentful.But working on it to get it back on line...still got a good few years left in me yet....i will fight til i drop!
-
Does anyone know what the Furthest Traveled active TB is.Not a cacher TB like myself,but a free spirit one.I have a TB on the brink of 60000miles A-Z Head.Is this one up there with the big boys and girls,or am i out of my league here.Thanks Peeps,Bye[

Take a look at this..even had a cache hidden just so it could get an X...TB on Second Mission .....re-tagged and on her way again.Looks like she might complete this as well.The photos on her mission are just amazing.I have no problems with Goldohulk looking after it and we do plan to meet as i am at a loss apart from Wales as to another country beginning with the letter W
