About This Item

Blue Stripy Sock TB (with all the other socks!)

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/

Found in Halifax. I was collecting a few Travelbugs and coins to move along when I go on holiday. Unfortunatley I find I am going the wrong way so will drop it off near home a little further northwards. Bob

What a great idea! Will try to put near M1, there's building work in the vicinity of the cache I have in mind. Will only leave there if it's safe.
