    Well ... if you are up for that then another thought :)

    On another forum's Seed Parvel people have been encouraged to do a "Directions" in Google Maps and then enter the number of Miles that the parcel will travel to the next person. I have no idea what the point of it is ... but I'm probably just being a "Fun Sponge" as my daughter would say ...

      I have seen that as well, we could encourage a mileage chart, so when I post to first on the list it will be travelling nearly 200 miles, not far from where I am driving to in an hour or so, strangely.
      All this is dependent on people posting, it`s arrived, I`m posting today, etc. So we are all in the loop where the parcel is.

      Could you be bothered to maintain the "current" list in the first post of a thread?

      In previous years finding the most recently edited list to then adapt from has not been straightforward, after lots of follow-on / updating messages, particularly when people have had a hissy fit and expect to be removed from the list rather than editing it themselves.

      The other forum does that - PM to the list-keeper, or a message in the thread, to get yourself added, and then it is updated with who currently has it, and how far it has travelled.

      I would be happy to be the list-keeper if anyone thinks the idea is worth trying.

      Hello, I'm sorry but I'll have to remove myself from the list, as I can't guarantee I'll be around when it may arrive with me, and don't want to disrupt things.
      I've removed my name from the list below.
