Competion 2007
This years competition is different to last years which was all about maximum mileage.
This year is about your TB visiting as many caches as possible.
Your bug can visit a cache
more than once and a visit to a country other than England, Wales and Scotland
gives you 5 additional points for each country. All of the island of Ireland is
counted as a foreign country as is Lundy, I.O.W. I.O.M. Channel Islands and
Isles of Scilly but on other Islands.
You will need to evidence and claim at
the end for these foreign visits.
The competition will start with a mass release at the “Exmoor TB Motel” on or near the 1st January 2007 and finish on 1st January 2008.
Love Dad
The winner of the 2007 TB competition is:
Team RATTUS-RATTUS !!!*
* Subject to any other competitor foreign visits which must be claimed by 1/2/08 see above rules for details.
