About This Item

The Beast that BarksSMALL.JPG

This is "The Beast that Barks" TB.

He is a living, breathing, barking TB and is my constant companion on geocaching trips. Despite his looks The Beast is a very friendly TB, he is a softie that never bites, and would like to have his picture taken with cachers, and cacher’s canine companions, from all over. If you see him at caches, geocaching events, out in the field or just around out and about please feel free to log him.

How do you log him you ask?
A. - As with all TBs you need to discover his serial number which hangs around his neck – well it is a dog-tag after all! This will give you 10 points on The Beast’s virtual scorecard.
B. - If you email me his real name (also hanging around his neck) through my profile you gain an addition 10 points.
C. - For a further 10 points take a picture of yourself with The Beast and attach the picture to your log of this TB.
Enter your score when you post your finder's log.

I appreciate that some cachers are not Beast confident and will not be prepared to approach him intimately enough to meet the logging criteria above. In such circumstances either ask me to assist you with A and B, for wich you only get 5 points, or alternatively take a picture of The Beast (with me to prove it’s not just another Beast-a-like) and email me the picture through my profile and I’ll send you the tracking number - this will earn you 15 points (5 for the log and 10 for the photo).

Acknowledgements
My special thanks go to the mtngirls for this TB tag which they kindly let me win at their very successful Quantocks Cache Bash in June 2006. My apologies to them it has taken me so long to get the right inspiration to release it. Thanks are also due to the Bananaboat (YJTB) which inspired me to create The Beast that Barks TB.

Ooops! It seems that I left the poor old Beast in the pub all this while. Collected to bring him back home.

Found him at the Event.

Only managed to get the number off the tag, then he decided he did not like me very much - perhaps the aroma of vet about me put him off somewhat

Didn’t realise The Beast was a permanently peripatetic TB until his manservant mentioned it to me, so I hastily grabbed The Beast by the collar, obtained the requisite information & let him go, not realising I needed a photo for the extra points. I shall have to wait until we meet up again.

Very nice to meet The Beast today. He was polite and dignified throughout. It was good to see so many four-legged friends attend the 1001 Event today - they all seemed to get on well and obviously enjoyed the walk/run/bound up the hill to Crook's Peak. Unfortunately the photo taken of me and The Beast did not come out well (the fault of my camera, not the photographer... it's been playing up recently) so that will have to wait for another time. I'm sure I'll meet The Beast again somewhere 🙂 MrsB

Delighted to meet The Beast and the Follow Me Chaps caching party while we were pursuing the same cache in the city of Wells. Was able to discover his name and take a photo of one of us jotting his TB number (just an excuse to say hello...) Quite the nicest trackable item we have ever discovered - and his help with finding the Wells cache was appreciated too! Will post pic as soon as we can and claim 30 points. Great to meet you, folks.
