The 'Mad March Hare' Treasure Hunt
Seven crews arrived at South Molton Cattle Market car park for the start
of the Treasure Hunt. Whilst some of the regular 'Treasure Hunters'
were unfortunately unable to make the event, it was nice to see some
new faces turning out for an afternoons fun.
The route took the competitors from South Molton into George Nympton
and then through the back lanes to Satterleigh, Warkleigh and on to
Chittlehampton. From here they went round Cobbaton and then down the
back lanes to Venn and the finish at Bishops Tawton. From here they
proceeded to the Wimpy at Roundswell for the results.
All the crews found the first half of the event quite easy with most
of them getting all the questions correct. However the second half proved
to be much more difficult and, with the on-set of rain, some of the
clues were missed which fortunately helped to decide the results.
