Current Goal

The mission of this travel bug is to travel to Z and back, alphabetically*.

The bug begins its travels from a cache in Apedale Country Park, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The next stop should be a cache located in a 'B' place - Brighton, Bishop Auckland, or Bantock Park, for example. It should then move on to a 'C' place, then a 'D', and so on.

* When the bug reaches the 'X' location - then, and only then, may it skip to the next letter of the alphabet (our understanding is that the United Kingdom features no cities, towns or villages that begin with letter X).

Upon reaching location 'Z', the bug's travels should continue back through the alphabet, Z to A.

The following list/s may be of some interest (especially for tough letters): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_locations

We called in at this cache on our way to do an Ad Lab and were pleased to find this tb in there. Sadly the cache had an inch of water in it and the tag has got a bit rusty. We will do our best to clean it up then send it on it's way in a plastic bag.
Now, where can we find a place beginning with I ?

In My Fair Lady mode, Hertfordshire and Hampshire wee too far away, but Heft fitted the bill perfectly. Good luck to whoever finds it next and has to leave it in a cache beginning with I - perhaps you are on holiday and can take it to Ipswich?

Glad to have this and hope it is not too long before I find a place beginning with H. What a good idea for a travel bug.
