Tb Hotel, Which One('s) Do You Use

[+Moote]

If I need to drop off TB's to move on quickly I usually use one of these 2 TB hotels:

 

"Emma's TB Hotel"

"MIATBX Final Approach"

 

Which TB Hotels do you like using? Where is your local TB Hotel? Could we do with more of these?

"The Heat is On" is pretty good too, not exactly a Hotel, but there is a pub close by

Trouble with that, it's such a SMALL box, no room for many TBs

Have been to the tiny box at Iron Mountain for Us4jess [i am still waiting for my reward]

I like the idea of this!

I'd like to make a couple for Cumbria, maybe one near Carlisle one near Kendal....do you think they'd get much traffic?

[+Firth of Forth]

There are four in Scotland that I know of:

 

Forth 2 North TB Motel which is at the north end of the Forth Raod Bridge

Perth TB Hotel

Sloch Stagecoach which is on the A9 south of Inverness

and

The Clydeside TB Hotel near Glasgow airport.

we like this one:

 

Whitley Reed

 

Not too far from Junction 10 of the M56

Ummm.....there is another one just as you come into Wales over the Second Severn Crossing.....but I'd better not mention its name Mrs B

The South-West Travel Bug Exchange, which is about a mile from the motorway at J29. It's only a short walk to the cache, and it's a large ammo box.

... and very nicely hidden amongst the nettles and brambles.

 

Actually, it's a few months since I last visited it - it's probably ok now.

I see no problem with this, just keep in mind that they are usually based near airports, ports, or next to or close to a Motorway junction.

 

Just had a quick look on GC.com and there appears that in the locations you mention there is no TB Hotels so go for it, I think the main problem is that you need the following

 

1. A big Ammo can or box about 9" * 6" * 12"

2. A good location that is accessible but not too visable

3. A secure hide as these places can hold 10's of TB's at a time

4. They are usually an easy find, as people just want to run and dump or grab

5. TB logging book as well as the Cache logging book

6. You need not place swaps in the box as it is a TB Hotel, but that is not a hard and fast rule

 

If you find a place then put them in the locations you mentioned

In addition to motorway hotels, caches accessible to city centres which can be used as TB drops by visiting cachers (without transport) are very welcome. It's not necessary for every single cache to be "protected" by a fiendish puzzle, visitors don't have the time or local knowledge required to solve them.

I'd not want the responsibility. I was last to find the Southampton TB hotel last year before it got muggled.... Bad luck.

 

If you are going to hide one, make sure it is 100% muggle proof if possible.

I totally agree with this.

I think the Southamton box now resides in Manchester as a TB Hotel
