About This Item

The Bug

The TB was originally called "To Mauritius and Back". The Mission was to travel to any island in the Indian Ocean and back to "After the Flash, the cache". But in 10 months, during which time it was only actually in a cache for 2 days, it went.. er... 10 miles. It was going to Canada... ended up down the road in Cheshire. It was going to Japan to be put in a new cache there... but the cache owner and bug holder messed up the coordinates and archived the cache before it was released!

I have long since forgotten what the key that is attached to the bug is for. The key represents the pointlessness of a TB that never goes anywhere!

Whoops, caching with a GPSr and with no mission attached I was not aware of this one's. It is now 200 miles or so south of where I picked it up, passing its home on the way, a larger step than expected 😮. I will set this bug free again soon.
