Travellers' Tales

[+The Hornet]

I am delighted to announce that three of my favourite travel bugs has finally made it home to roost in the past couple of weeks. For those whose TB's go missing this just goes to prove that occasionally the system works

 

My Amberel Top Cache was delivered personally by Dobunnis this week. Thanks ladies. It has travelled over 2000 miles before reaching its goal.

 

Back in 2003 I released Zamboni and after travelling the world it was finally returned home to me. It clocked up over 35000 miles

 

And then my record breaker! In 2004 one of the original Geocachers, Mark Thompson, died at a terribly young age. He did so much for caching in the UK and it was decided to set up a TB race in his memory. This ended years ago but my TB kept travelling until finally it "ran out of steam" last month and a friendly US cacher offered to post it back to me. So Mark The Cat how does 45000 miles sound? A fitting tribute mate

Congratulations, Peter . For the record, Peter was the first recipient of one of these coins to choose the very fitting but riskier option of "delivery by cache" rather than having it posted, and it is the first to reach its goal, for which I am both delighted and relieved .

 

BTW Peter, your recent logs on the coin page are dated 5th June, which puts them out of sequence.

 

Rgds, Andy

This is very good to hear as someone who is just thinking of releasing a few travel bugs. I know you always have to be prepared for them to be lost forever but it's always reassuring to hear stories of those that made it home!

I used that method to return an old friend's "belongings"

 

Look here

 

Although I have "grabbed" it back I know it is still in Alan's possession somewhere in Western Australia (which is where he retired to from Port Lincoln - via Darwin and the outback!!)
