This sock is part of the great ArtWash sock race! It is racing 4 other socks from Oxford up to Edinburgh and then back to Oxford again.
Currently on route to: Having reached Edinburgh, now heading back to Oxford - to any cache in Oxford...
Have you ever wondered what happened to the missing socks from your laundry..? Well.. they go traveling!
This travel bug has been released as part of an ArtWash event - 5 pairs of socks have been split up - one half of each pair will stay in the laundrette, and the other half have been made into travelbugs that are going off on a race! They are all racing to Edinburgh and then back home to Oxford again... Which one do you think will make it back first..?!
If would be great to see some photos of how the socks are getting on - photos of Geocachers with this sock, or of the sock in/near to the cache that it is in, or even photos of the sock with your own socks - escpecially if you have odd socks, stripy socks, bright coloured socks, or otherwise fun or unusual socks!! Combine several of those options for bonus points!
The rival socks are:
The pink stripy sock
The orange stripy sock
The green stripy sock
And the purple stripy sock
We also set up a cache within the laundrette that plays host to ArtWash - it is the ultimate destination of these odd socks; the finish line for their race. It is The home of odd socks!
ArtWash is a monthly artist led event held at the TruWash laundrette in Headington, Oxford, on the 20th of every month (except for August...). Each month an artist has a showcase event for finished work, work in progress, or a site specific piece. For further information see the website - http://www.artwash.co.uk/

Picked up this morning, was tempted to wear it as my feet got soaked when finding the cache but it just wasnt my size 😉
Will drop off very soon

Discovered at the Oxfordshire Camping event. This has to be one of the coolest TBs I've seen!

We really liked this TB - it prompted suggestions from the male members of Team Awesome that they use it to re-create a certain Red Hot Chili Peppers album cover, but thankfully that idea was swiftly rejected! We didn't know about its mission but we reckon it has won by reaching Oxfordshire! Our home town of Loughborough is famous for hosiery manufacture and we have a Sock Man statue in town, so we'll take it to visit before we drop it off.
