Virtual Treasure Hunt 2020 Results

NYMAC Virtual Treasure Hunt 2020

Due to the unique conditions in 2020, we offered a “virtual” treasure hunt to replace our much liked annual social event.

Big thanks for Eddie and Phil who set the clues and checked the course. I then went with Eddie to try it out for real and got three wrong!

The teams could run it, following the current guidelines, over the weekend 17th – 19th July.  Nineteen teams completed the course and all had fun.

Scoring is based on the elapsed time to complete the course, then add on a penalty of 5 minutes for each incorrect or missing answer.

 

Overall winner was Mark Brown and his daughter with a run time of 39:45 and only one incorrect answer, giving a final time of 44:45.  Fastest time was another father and daughter team, Gavin and Kirsty, with 37:16, but three incorrect answers.  Father and daughter teams do well, Barry and Josie  were the only team to get all the questions right. Well done Jack running solo with second fastest 37:57, but, six incorrect or missing answers.  Neil and his mother did the route as an enjoyable Sunday stroll and only got one wrong.

 

A special mention goes to Phil and Kerry who paused their attempt to administer first aid and call the ambulance for an elderly gentleman who had fallen after being hit by a cyclist on the pavement.

 

Before you look at the answers, if you fancy doing the treasure hunt on your own just for fun, the details are here , and the questions are here here.

Finally, the answers ( with photos of the clues ) are here .
