Retrieve It from a Cache 2/12/2008 blueskyrider retrieved it from Park Up Here, Not Down There East Midlands, United Kingdom   Visit Log

We found this race bug (In its cache) at the side of a road.
I am moving to France in a few weeks (600 Miles south!) I will try and find a busy cache.

However all links to the bugrace.tk race page appear to have closed down! It did leave the start line 4 years ago!

Had hoped to help this travel bug with its quest to South Africa, but had to be content with parking it near the busy A45.
