Thanks, so no need to delete all the dipped logs then? I assume
that the mileage will be from the cache it was picked up from to
the cache where it was dropped off?

The mileage is from the cache it was picked up from to the 1st
cache visit (dropped or dipped). It can be a right pain in the
*** when people don't look at the cache page

Thanks... having not been in a TB race before what was done in
this instance previously regarding TB's being dipped?
My TB was dipped into a cache just 3km away, so if it gets
dropped on in Australia next it will simply be a distance of 3km
travelled as far as the race is concerned?

There is a choice of rules when you set up the race, this year
is the same as last year. Another option is every visit counts
for the mileage, the way we do it encourages people to move it
on sooner.
In the case of a TB that is dipped in a local cache and then
gets taken to Australia by the same cacher then, as you say, the
only mileage recorded is the local mileage. Bummer, isn't it.
We had a TB last year that went to Peru and Canada with the same
cacher after bring dipped locally. It got a recorded mileage of
1 mile. :-)

Suppose I could wait for them to drop it off and then delete all
the dipped logs :-)

Missed a golden opportunity to drop my footballer in to the
Heathrow TB hotel yesterday :'(

Mine might be going in Heathrow cache next Saturday as I am in
London for a days caching.
On a side issue you gotta love people who don't read the TB
page. I see Grizzly's is on its way to Scotland but it was
dipped in a local cache 1st.

My TB has now made it to Hull, but still only 4 miles on the
clock and no dipping from the person who picked it up then
dropped it off, so bit confused about that?
