+Sensei TSKC Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Bob, May I take this opportunity to thank you for your help in making this event get off to a good start. Link to comment
NickPick Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yes, Thanks Bob! Taking on the task of transporting and placing 28 travel bugs would have seemed a bit daunting to me! I would have been constantly worrying about "what if I don't find enough caches to place them?" etc. Thanks, and a bonus 280 points for the COTM table! Link to comment

+milvus-milvus Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 1) Most countries: I'll stick with the 3 - probably USA being the extra one. 2) Total milage: 14,850 - almost direct. 3) Numbers of caches Only 9. 4) time taken It depends what start date you use. 17th July (Final day of the Open Golf). 5) take taken by last to finish Never. Only 20 finishers. The others muggled, kidnapped, or "missing, presumed lost". Ditto thanks to SP for inspiration, Alibags for getting it going, Bekandian for HTML and BT "negotiations", and Bob for making it happen. And to the rest of the entrants for providing some competition. And to my Mum & Dad, without whom... Link to comment
