Sharpeset Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Does anyone out there know cachers by the name of 'Muppettree', from the Winchester area? I believe they may have defected from the sport in May last year, while in posession of two TBs, one of them mine (hence my interest). I went to GCMJYQ (Itchen to get back to the pub) last week to rescue it, but it was not there. The log book contains an entry by Muppettree from May, stating they took the two bugs. The TBs have not been logged out of the cache, and the cachers have not logged anything since. Have E:mailed them (politely, of course) but have had no response. Just wondered if anyone knew them and could get the bugs back....I can but hope! Cheers, Pete Edited January 8, 2006 by Sharpeset Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 looking at the cache you could always try their friends the ycached with who mention the local scouts so another option there. good luck Quote Link to comment
Sharpeset Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Thanks Nobby. Have tried that, but as this was their one and only find ever, I don't hold out much hope. Quite disappointing that our first TB should go just 20 miles and then get 'lost'. Cheers, Pete Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Quite disappointing that our first TB should go just 20 miles and then get 'lost'. Cheers, Pete Commiserations! We've just had exactly the same experience: Our first TB, the "Roamin' Roman" went AWOL from his home cache to meet some other Romans. He did one jump 20 miles west into another very appropriate Roman cache...which was then trashed...and he's disappeared. We'll wait a few weeks to see if he reappears and, if not, we'll get his twin brother out to search for him using the duplicate tag. Of couse, he could be on a secret mission somewhere Mrs B Quote Link to comment
Sharpeset Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Thanks for the sympathy Mrs B. Our missing bug was named 'Sporting Chance' and we hoped he might get to Germany for the World Cup. Need to rename him 'Fat Chance...'! Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 One of Muppettree's found logs says that they visited the cache with Jan and the Percey Boys. There are other caches where both teams logged on the same day, though they don't actually mention each other. Jan and the Percey Boys are active cachers, so you might want to contact them.

nobby.nobbs Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 my other idea was to try and contact the local scouts. they might be able to point in the right direction. ??? Quote Link to comment
Sharpeset Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Thanks Bill and Nobby. I'll try Jan and the Percy boys as suggested. Contacting the scouts might be a bit over the top... Cheers Pete Edited to report that Muppettree is actually "Jan"'s sister and they have offered to intervene in an attempt to get the bugs on the road again. Thunderbirds are go...maybe...
