Is anyone any good at setting up a race page so we can track the progress of the racers?

What do you mean by a 'race page'? IS there a way to do it automatically via geocaching.com?

Al, for the last TB race somehow Emma Twm managed to construct a page where they were all updated.

Hmmm... Couldn't see it, was it an actual page with live tracking or do you just mean the list of bugs with links to their pages? If the latter then
that was manually updated from time to time.

It may be worth linking to it from your Travel Bugs page so that people can see how well each bug is doing compared to its fellow racers... Italso
helps spread the word about the Aber-cachers... To link to it simply add the following to your bugs page:
| Code: |
<a href="http://www.aber-cachers.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=90">Aber-Cachers TB Race Report</a>

Is this it?

Just noticed that. Hopefully it will get on a plane and not a train LOL unless it heading for Scotland, of course. On second thoughts, it's already
in England!! YAY!

It could be, but that is just a manual listing of all of the travel bugs - Anyone can create that whenever they want, it doesn't update
automatically.

sweet, if it touched down in England as well, that means you already on 2 countries!

I am sure it went via England , but it never stopped to visit a cache so I guess that it does not count.

Yeah i think it has to touch down according to the rules, its very likely to do so though.

One of Sadies has just appeared in a new cache I have placed at M4 Swansea West services!!! Strange though, Sadie's bug is still showing 0 miles
despite having visited 2 caches.

That's odd, maybe a bug on the site?

Harri (fon junior)'s coin has officially reached Germany = 612 miles. No stops between Wales and there though.
Mainland Europe is a good start though....
