My local centre of the Caravan Club ran one a couple of years back, great fun ... but the chelsea tractor drivers all complained about the amount of fuel used and that they couldn't park anywhere to check the clues :(

So they stopped running them .. :(

hey

for anyone interested i play a treasure hunt game called geocaching.
people set treasure and record its location on a gps unit. Then others look for it with their gps's and switch treasure (like sawpping cd's or something in some)

good excuse to take the meega out aswell. And hiking boots lol.

here is a link where you can register and it will provide more information on the game/sport:

hope this interests people

I think Martin should organise/plan it as he knows the area......tho as long as its not 40 miles   ;D :y

10-20 miles will do Martin.........ending back at the campsite.......so competitors can get str8 on the beer waiting for everyone to return  :y

The most fun is a TSD when they calculate straight national limit without taking stops and roundabouts into account. You end up flogging it everywhere in a desperate attempt to get close to the desired time!  :y ;D
