This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

The Tortoise (The Tortoise & The Hare Charity Challenge) is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

The mission of this Travel Bug 'The Tortoise' is to be the first of the two released Travel Bugs (The Tortoise and The Hare) to raise £1000 pounds for The National Autistic Society (a condition a member of my immediate and extended family have).

A side mission is to prove that 'The Tortoise' is still quicker than 'The Hare' in completing this goal!

If you find this Bug can I ask that you visit the following website:

http://www.justgiving.com/CattClanTravelBugChallengeTheTortoise

where you will find more details about helping the Tortoise achieve his challenge.

Once you have helped him can you please ensure he is quickly placed back in the same or another cache as soon as possible giving him the best chance of finishing the race first!

They both like UK travel only and welcome uploaded photos of them with their finders!
