Wouldn’t it be good if they came with a micro chip that meant you could literary track them.

The great thing about the UK travelbug graveyard is that the trackable can always be grabbed and brought back to life if it does turn up.
I've sent about 6 emails to the person who last had it - no response

Well.. Its D-Day, and I think we all know who has won... Congratulations to 'The Little Welsh Cache'... A deserved winner as I think Twm-y-tonnau
put more effort into his bug than most of us!!
I don't have time to go through each TB at the mo to get the final scores, but will try to do so later... Unless someone beats me to it 
So, I guess it is a race back to Aber then... Time to change the mission statement on your bugs and get them back to a cache within Aberystwyth
ASAP... May the best bug win (and lets hope those that are MIA turn up soon too).
Come home to Wales little bugs!!
Al.

Ahem - she put effort into the TB, but I think it was more so down to luck than effort.
While we are up here on the podium we would like to thank - wheelybarrow, PurplePenguin,
saltash reinbears, plugsie, mk rambling rose, mafiu, KiwiGary, TheWonderStuff, Surgez,
Roel Michels, annpan and Just Floundering.

How are the TB's doing on their way home??
Looks as though there are 4 in the UK, although I think RK's is missing??
Mine is in Deepest Darkest Texas somewhere!
Wonder if any will make it back to Aber by Xmas?

"although I think RK's is missing??"
Not any more!!! I had an email tonight from someone saying they had found it in a (old) coat pocket.
He has placed it in a cache but couldn't log it because it was reported missing in action.
So I unmarked it, replaced it in the cache it was taken from (which is now ARCHIVED!) and then retrieved it and placed it at its current location (The
Sky is Falling/Cocky Locky GC1JFNR)
You never know... it might be the first one back home LOL But don't hold your breath.

Note left on my Yellow cache today:
thurs night gang placed Red Kites Abercachers Racer Bug (Travel Bug Dog Tag) in Rainbow Series Yellow at 4/26/2009
I'M HOME!!!!
Didn't travel very far in the end but at least I got out of that bloke's pocket
Well done to Twm y Tonnau for what has to be the best trip ever though. New Zealand and back is pretty good going.
Come home all you little bugs..wherever you are.. hope the other missing ones show up soon

LOL I think it did the grand total of 400 miles. The funny thing is that between me and the Little Welsh Cache there was only ten miles difference
before my final spurt

Someone has been along and picked him up, not realising he had just made it home. They emailed me and asked what his new mission is. I advised them
to contact you Al, and ask what they should do. Typical That happened to mine as well
