Description
This cache could be a shoe-in to win.........
This is one of two movable geocaches that pays homage to the most common form of transport available - our feet.
This cache is participating in the cachinggames.com 'Bingo' race of 2012/2013, so please move this cache at LEAST 1 kilometer once found.
There's a FTF prize of a pathtag in this cache
Race On!
(Please excuse the terrible filler-foam job I did on this cache......)

Logs
Did not move too far south. Had to off load it early as it gave me an uneasy feeling having one left foot lying around!
Certainly not the prettiest moveable I have seen! Hope to move it south tomorrow
Whoopsies! Lefty, along with one or two other forgotten movables, was found lurking on level B27 deep in the dungeons of the Tardis. It has been placed back in play in the hope that the CO will forgive the inadvertent hoarding, the extended delay & unarchive. After all, it would take Lefty some time to hop here from where he was last found.
Very witty indeed. Some say I have two left feet on the dance floor. Or anywhere else where pedi-dexterity is concerned. Currently drying out the somewhat dampish logsheet.
Back out but having a bit of a rest in a tree.
Lefty is back out again in a spot right by the Bass Highway.
Picked up from beside another cache at Lindisfarne. Will move north with us later in the week. TFTC
Popped into work on a Saturday and sitting on my desk were two caches! .. whoever said working on weekends didnt have its perks!
Thanks OldSaint

Hi CraigRat
Only found the "Lefty" here; just as well I'm left footed.
Wore it into the pub at Kingston and the barman asked:
"Lost a shoe?"
Ianswered:
"Nah! Found one!"
TFTC and cheers

At last – this Bingo cache is back and operational. It had been hidden with others in a location used many times in the past without any problems. This year however there was extensive rail track maintenance between Penguin and Ulverstone which resulted in large quantities of old ballast being dumped beside the line which impacted on penguin breeding. The situation was being monitored very closely by volunteers and as they did, they came across this group of caches. They were cleaned up along with other rubbish along the shoreline. Luckily they weren’t disposed of immediately, instead being kept at a volunteer’s home until they could get around to going to the tip. In the meantime we were able to track them down but retrieval had to wait until the volunteer returned from a short holiday. Three of the four caches in the group are required by cachers in the south. We have to make an unanticipated trip south so we will arrange for them to be put out in the south on Wednesday.
Just over a km away but it probably doesn't matter if I'm not doing the bingo game. It's just a little way up the Murchison Highway beside the Cam River.
Edit, oops - just UNDER the km, but I guess it doesn't matter!

Was out with Mum and as there were some moveables around Somerset, thought I'd find and move a couple just for the fun of it. According to my GPS, I thought I was finding "Cheesy's Transport" GA4870 at the location, but I found GA5019 Pedestrian Transport - Lefty instead. That currently shows as being picked up by Guripper and DGT. Not sure if just not logged as moved yet or what. Anyway, I picked it up and moved it. A very neat little moveable. Thanks Craigrat.
bingo! picking up all that we can for our road trip west in a couple of days!
Sorry about the quick hops whitewebbs. We've had the same problem, every time we go for it, it's left. The other side was better, it was right there! This one should now be right where we left it if you hop to it!
Boy you have to be quick to find up here, got the move log and cache found already!
On the road again finally - left, left, left . . .
Well we've decided to split up the two feet by a few metres, sorry!
Righty and Lefty have taken a stroll to look for platypus...
I'm just glad there was no-one around to see us stuffing a disembodied foot in a bag...
Lefty heard the sound of waves on the shore and raced off to the beach
Love this form of transport. Back out again.
was down this way on another mission and saw this pop up! thanks for the cache and the ftf found at 1208pm
Sorry for the delay!
This one is out... a few more to follow over the next day or so!
