On Thursday 17th November, members of the Society explored the City of London via a Treasure Hunt set by Blue Badge Tourist Guide Caroline Piper. Competition was fierce and the result was a nailbiter!
Results:
Kimball & David – 1 hour 25 mins – 51 points + 5 bonus points for finishing fastest = 56 points – WINNERS!!
Claire & Katy – 1 hour 35 mins – 54 points – special mention in dispatches as they would have won before the bonus points were applied
Ash & Zen – 1 hour 27 mins – 53 points – special mention in dispatches as they scored 2nd highest and were only 2 minutes slower than the fastest team
Andrew & Angela – 1 hour 45 mins (no time deductions as awarded extra time on accessibility grounds) – 51 points
