Chris asked us to turn the hippo into a travel bug and put him in the cache we placed During the filming of the programme "Inside Out".

Please take a photo of yourselves wherever possible so that the photo's can be added to the BBC web page about this Travel Bug. Your chance to be famous!

Retrieve It from a Cache 1/19/2003 Kouros retrieved it from Winchester Cachers & Friends late Xmas pub social United Kingdom   Visit Log

Picked up LRH from Winchester Cachers & Friends late Xmas pub social and is currently enjoying being kept warm and cozy inside rather than outside in a cold, dark ammo can.

LRH will be a mascot for an exam on Monday afternoon, before continuing his journey. For the time being though, he is regaling us with stories of his travels, and discussing where he would like to go next.

Where will that be? Who knows..?

Well, we got the Famous Little Red Hippo and we're glad to help him on his way.

This weekend we will be either taking him to the Buxton area or we will take him to the Cachers Meet in Winchester, depending on our which location we're at.
