Yeah, that would be the thing. Thanks, Yurt. I think the moon chart is like that. We never quite get there.

It's a line that approaches the other line, getting closer and closer, but never ever actually touching the first, straight line. I think.

I can assure you that we ARE getting closer. Last night, were had gone 370,400 odd kilometres and today it's already grown to 371,174. C@W will be able to confirm the exact number, but I belive we are aiming at 384,403 km

Another UK trip would help [-o<

The GeGnome Project caches have travelled 371,174.45 kms.
The (nominal) target is 384,600km.

The moons orbit is not spherical, so there is some play here.

Yes, fantastic concept.
Do we retire our Gnomes to their gardens for a while now and bring them out for another race soon or wot?

I like the flash mob gnome drop idea, then we could populate the botanical gardens in each city.

Looks like we made it to the moon, with a day or two to spare! \:D/
