"What is Treasure Hunt Europe?" - A 5 DAY WORLD RECORD TREASURE HUNT AROUND EUROPE to
raise money for 3 charities
Commencing
at 16:45 from Lille in France on the 14th June 2010, Me, Annabel,
Chris, Liam and Vicky will race with another 50ish groups for 5 days to
the finish,
following cryptic clues to the next location on a route spanning at
least 5 countries. As we arrive at the location in one country, we
supposedly use the broad range of intelligence in our group to solve
the clues to the next country and the exact location of the next
clue... so basically we're going to get lost. There is a £1000 prize
for whoever gets to the end location first... which is unlikely to be
us!
We have been
given a railcard that gets us on most trains in Europe but
we have to sort out our food and accommodation. Since we don't know
which countries we will be ending up in until the day comes, our bed
and breakfast hotel might end up being a cardboard box with some road
kill. When all groups arrive at the end location we celebrate by having a massive party!
In
total there are 200 members racing and we each have to raise a minimum
sponsorship of £250. So in total we will be raising £50,000 for the 3 different charities.
