Travel Bug Mystery...

On 8/8/05, two cachers, "pennington" and "BILLYCOLE" visited Cheshire caches and picked up a travel bug each. These were their one and only finds. The travel bugs, TBG083 & TBHXNT seemed to disappear off the face of the earth...

 

...until yesterday! On a very aptly named "Bleaklow", we found the cache "Bleaklow Head" and inside were these two travel bugs! I'm sure the owners thought they were missing. I wonder where they got to for 3½ years?

We had one yesterday Chip me into a Premiership Football Cache (TBKB3B) belonging to Slytherin that was picked up by a new cacher with a handful of finds on 22 Apr 06. We've emailed the previous finder of the cache to see if they placed it and where they had it from as at the same time they picked up Ma's Gypsy Geocoin (TBN6AE)

I really love when they resurface too...I set loose a new tb every year when on our jolly hols. One was picked up in Spain in 2007 by a relatively new cacher. After a couple of chase emails he advised he'd forgotten all about it, was now in the US and arranged for it to be posted out there to him, where he has now set it on it's way again...result!

Well its not quite the same as it didnt exactly go missing but one of my coins went from South Africa before Christmas with a log stating it would be going on its travels again.

 

It then went very quiet until the new year when I have received a lovely log from some people saying they had it safely in their possession and were just waiting for the holidaymakers to log the drop off before they logged it.

 

I thought this was nice of them as not everyone puts a note on whilst waiting for loggers.
