Who ever thought electronic self-driving cars would be a good idea? Where's the PANIC button when things go wrong? Over-looking something? Just a little!
Earlier, getting the car from the garage, everything was fine. We told the car where to go, and off we went - driven through the streets to our destinations. We'd already found the caches at Tolskhill and Athwertdale, so hunted elsewhere.
This magical car, which we've hastily christened HAL, has no steering wheel, no brakes, NO DRIVER and it's careering out of control at top speed! (Top speed is admittedly not going to break any records) We're throwing our weight around the car to do wheelies and take corners. We can't turn back, we can't stop, and now we've entered a maze of back-streets covered with pedestrian crossings, their lights on a timer, flickering Green to Amber to Red and back to Green again. By the time we've gone down a street all the lights change again. We can go only on Green or Amber, we'll hit someone if we take a Red!
This map we've managed to download from the internet for Blue Stone Garages seems a bit ... odd. In addition to showing traffic lights, presently matching up with what we're seeing ahead, someone's scribbled numbers on some of the junctions. We're on the west side of town, and aiming for the garage at eastern exit. We have to get there before it closes at midday so we'll need the shortest route through. The time is now 10:51.
We'll note down all the numbers we pass on our map here.
No clues in photos please!
