About This Item

Bob's Bug!

Bob Tate and his family - Team Tate - were among the first cachers in the UK. As well as enjoying his caching and placing some fine caches, he was responsible for introducing a lot of people - including me - to the hobby.

Sadly, Bob was killed in a motorcycle accident on 5th April 2006.

This bug is launched in Bob's memory, so that he can carry on visiting caches! After being shown round among as many as possible of Bob's friends (which explains the pre-release "Discoveries"!), it was released into the wild on 11th March 2007, which would've been Bob's birthday.

Please keep him moving, and make sure he gets to see some interesting places.
