Trackables UPDATE

A few trackables that we placed have since moved and I thought I'd do a quick blog to show the updated travels. 

Firstly you may remember the Croatia travel bug that was one of our first trackables, we dropped this off alongside the Travelling Troll which were then both picked up by the same people. The Bunculuka trackable has yet to be placed by the couple but they did place the Travelling Troll



Sadly and quite annoyingly they bought both trackables back to the UK, not only that but they bought it back to a series we literally just dropped the Ladybird trackable off into. So although we added on some miles and the owner can say it's been to Italy; their actions have probably stopped the trackables travelling to another country for some time as it's difficult to get trackables moving in the UK. 
Sorry for the slight rant but it was an accomplishment helping a trackable travel only to have it literally come all the way back again!

On the other hand the Ladybird (Tallinn GeoToken) we mostly recently dropped off in Bournemouth has traveled to Stretford near Manchester. It travelled 187.96 miles to one cache and was then picked up again and traveled another 25.76 miles to where it now resides in Yorkshire inside the cache Nutclough City Limits


The Glenturret 05 - besucht alle Deutschen Bundesländer trackable hasn't moved as far (can't say the exact miles as the owner kept writing every cache he visited before dropping it off making 2 pages full of miles) It's ended up in Ford so roughly traveled 15 miles. 



Geocoinfest 2015 has traveled to lots of different caches since dropping it off! It's been a busy trackable. It was taken from Sopley > London > South Wales > Sailsbury, this cache is a perfect example of what happens to caches in the UK, they bounce from one end to the other! 445.12 miles is the average distance it's traveled, for some reason the person who took it to South Wales didn't drop it off up there but instead bought it back down to Sailsbury which is a bit suspious but also a shame; would have made more sense to drop it off up there! I don't think I had started the blog when we collected this cache but it's still nice to give you an added extra!

Sorry some of these turned into a rant like state (I'm a passionate trackable collector!) Even Lewis got some angry texts from at my utter disappointment and frustration (Sorry Lew)! As of yet our own trackable hasn't been picked up but I shall update as soon as that happens! In the mean time we did do some other caches but they weren't really blog worthy as we did them in passing travels :)

Travel Bug - Bunculuka UPDATE

We finally shift on this little travel bug, Bunculuka, we kept it for over a month and a half which was not our intention at all. The cache had traveled to so many places yet it hadn't been to Italy so we felt we really should take it on our holiday. I did contact the owner as to whether we could keep it but no reply, so I just kept it! I picked Bunculuka up from the Chichester Lipchis Canal walk which was at the time only recorded on our YouTube channel (video here).


The cache we went to was Forte Belvedere in Florence, Italy. We added on another 743.48 miles for this trackable as well as a new visited country. The cache itself is hidden well, I don't think you'd see it with just a glance. The walk to the cache however was hard work, the terrain only got 2 stars out of 5 but it was a very steep walk. If it had been any hotter, like during the summer, we probably would have been very fed up and exhausted by the time we reached the top. So word of warning to anyone thinking of cache, be prepared for a long steep slope! 



The Bunculuka has been taken from the cache, it was removed the same day. We also took along another travelling companion that we found in the Highleigh Speedy Hike. For the Travelling Troll blog, click here.

Travel Bug - Bunculuka

A current Trackable I have in my possession is one we picked up from the Lipchis Chichester Canal series. We picked it up from #9 and dated it back to 2002 when it first started on the island of Krk, Croatia. It's travelled many countries and continents including Japan, America, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Spain and many more. I'm not sure how far along we'll get this moved but I guess moving it a little is better than not at all!
