Lost Travel Bug

[+mikemtn]

I'm hoping to get a little help in locating my lost Travel Bug From Jonjaben. He was last seen supposedly in a Geocache in Auckland Park, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, England. This is a well traveled Bug and I'd really like to get him back in circulation. I might be able to track down the cache he's supposed to be in if anybody thinks that would help.

 

Thanks, Mike

This would be a handy site for you to join Mike and then put a request in, you will probably have more joy with tracking down your TB http://www.tb-rescue.com/index.rescue.php

Colour me confused...

 

According to that link, your TB was last logged in June 2011 when a cacher picked it up from a cache in southern Scotland and then posted that it "has been sent off to Brisbane Australia with our friends team Herod."

 

Have you contacted the last cacher who had it, or "Team Herod"?

Edited to add - That's a really old TB - I can understand why you'd like to find it and get it moving again.

Yeah, I emailed him and he gave it to a friend to take to Australia (I think) but after I emailed him he contacted his friend and was told it was left in a cache in Auckland Park, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, England. I've emailed him again to see if I can get his friends username or the name of the cache it was left in but haven't heard back from him.

 

I'll check out the lost Travel Bug link also.

 

Thanks, Mike

 

edit: I just realized I may have a username. Possibly Team Herod. I'll work on that angle.

OK, I figured out the Team Herod that was supposed to have it. Here's a list of all of Team Herod's Cache finds. I looked at all their logs and there's no mention of a Travel Bug. I'll see if I can contact them.

 

I guess a Bug has to be in a cache before the rescue site can look for it.

 

Thanks, Mike

Well, after getting past my senior moment I realized that the caches I thought were logged by Team Herod in England are actually in Kansas, USA. I was assuming too much. I'm out of options now unless I hear from Team Herod.

I did have a look on the map and there are no caches in Aukland Park, so if there was one back in 2011 it must have been archived now.

 

If you use facebook have join this group, which covers that region :- https://www.facebook.com/groups/128308160626222/ and ask there.

 

Someone up there may remember the cache and may even be able to go see if the box is still there with your TB in it.

 

Not many people frequent this forum anymore I'm afraid.

 

FYI here's the geocaching map centred on Aukland Park:- http://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?lat=50.82633&lng=-1.28167#?ll=54.65497,-1.64726&z=14

Thanks, I'll try that.

Almost all the UK Geocaching groups are closed, but that's only to keep out spammers, almost all of them will accept any geocacher, just submit a request to join and I'm sure they'll accept you.
