I think that I would have to go with 'A' as that is what I originally had in mind.

This has been quiet for a while, only 4 months to go.
For "Photo at" challenges. If the photo was taken by the cacher retreiving the coin as part of the move to the next cache, should it be claimed agains the waypoint they took the cache from (as this is where the photo was taken) or the waypoint they are moving the coin to (as it was part of this move).

My TB has 'died'. It was placed into a cache in Jamaica which got archived before it even got published. So you can't even see the coordinates of the cache!

The kids 2 TB's are gone. So it has been "Game Over" for them for a whilst.

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Our TB got grabbed from a cache in England at the start of October and after a few weeks on no activity I started to worry
But a glance at the details of the holder a few weeks later gave surprise hope for our little Fairy.
No logs for weeks, the holder didn't even log in to geocaching.com for a month, I worried further
Today Freya the Facit Family Fairy was logged into a cache in Echuca Victoria. A jump of 16,947km that put our somewhat battered Fairy (I gather she's lost her wings) just 270km from the final cache
We're not doing so well on points but with 6 Mandatory claims made and only the final cache mandatory left, maybe Freya with beat the Facit-Family to Wagga Wagga???

Not sure if I ever posted these, but this is what I had to travel to South Africa with originally. I was so paranoid of losing the TBs, that I carried them all in hand luggage:

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
So are things getting interesting?
My Fairy that was only some 175Km from the finish line has since travelled down through Victoria to Geelong and has just popped up in New Zealand!
I see Spindoc's Mr Grumpy has flown out of Singapore and reappeared in The Netherlands
Marcus Vitruvius' 'Lightning McQueen' seems to be the closest to the finish after an apparent kidnapping
So who will get there first? Is there a TB closer to Wagga than MV's?

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
With only a few days to go until the race ends, where is your TB?
Will anybody make a last minute dash to Wagga Wagga?
Can you also give me some indication of how many TBs/coins have gone missing in action?

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Well our Aussie Geokids Thongs Racer turned out to have a disappointing race. I got an email on the weekend to tell me it has definitely gone missing. I suspected this as it hadn't moved for months. Someone has a nice shiney new TB for their collection.
It managed to travel a massive 63km!!
oh well we will just have to try again on the next race.

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Mine stalled for months but has finally moved again. Thought it had disappeared.
But it's still stuck in Germany and I gave up on trying to decode the German logs to see if it was meeting any challenges! Oh well. Will just change the description next week and let it travel. The boomerang didn't come back!

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Well we thought that Fergus Frog had disappeared never to be seen again, but then he reappeared!! He had no trouble claiming points for the 'hasn't moved in a month' category and has moved a grand total of 26.6km. We doubt that he is going to be in Wagga to meet us!!!!!!!!

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Mr Grumpy is just that, due to being stuck in Europe. Having said that he has travelled quite a bit - 45568.5km as of today.
He has been to Singapore and then to the Netherlands. Managed to escape the storms and floods in Madiera by a week. Then headed to Vietnam and back to Austria. He meeting a lot of people tomorrow at an event.
Unfortunately, I don't think he'll make it to Wagga in time, but it's been fun tracking his adventures.

Re: The Long Way Round - TB race from South Africa to Australia
Our Fairy is only 438Km away in Geelong. Some remote chance of attending Wagga I guess.
Marcus Vitruvius' Lightning McQueen has disappeared from a cache in SA but I wonder if he'll appear in Wagga. I'd be placing my money on this racer.
