Well lets hope the packet is getting near Sweden by now. I am going to take my final guess now at 23.80 mph.
Good luck everyone.

Well as we all know now Mark it did get there after some nail biting on my part :D and i am sure some others too, and now it's on it's way again, i cant stand the suspense:D .

i wonder as a bit of fun is it possible to work out if anyone is close to the speed traveled so far i now this wont reflect on the end result but it may be a bit fun to see how's nearest to the goal at the moment.

Up-Date Time.
Well the seeds have been on the go for 44 days now or 1053 hours as of the 12 of Jan. the average speed of the seed works out to be 12.31 mph. And 13000 miles travelled to date.
I have up-dated the list and wish everyone the best of luck with their guesses, and thanks to all who have taken part in this fun venture for looking after the seed, and moving it on it's way.
There are some good guesses there but Madhouse is the closest at the halfway point at 12.15 mph.
Best of luck to everyone. I will up-date this as it continues on it's journey.

Well it is good news that the (big ) package is still on it's journey and heading down under to New Zealand, lets all hope that it safely arrives at the destination.
The speed of the seed has now picked up. the average speed has now gone up to 14.65 mph and the nearest guess at this time is our friend in South Africa with Ben,s guess of 14.7 mph. I do think it will get faster as time goes on !!

Next stop NZ good luck everyone

Well it is good news that the (big ) package has now arrived in New Zealand after it stop-over or holiday in South Africa. Only a few more stops to go and it will back in the wet and rainy swamp land (UK)
The speed of the seed has now slowed down very slightly. the average speed has now gone down to 14.61 mph and the nearest guess at this time is still our friend in South Africa with Ben,s guess of 14.7 mph.

I had no idea of the speed LOL I just threw in two #'s. When I seen Dons bid of 1,000,000. I knew it would be a hard one and any one can win. I was first on the stop and i thought it stalled befor I got it. That thing is getting frequent flyer mills.
