This event cache will take place on Sunday 28th September 2014 between 11am and 4pm and Base Camp will be in the Brannel Room at the St Stephen in Brannel Parish Council Craft Workshops, Fore Street, St Stephen. The Brannel Room is in the Elliott Building on site. There is a car park but if it is full there is plenty of on-street parking around the village.
Full instructions and details of the ‘Scavenger Hunt’ will be provided on the day however please note that:
-
You must arrive and register with me at Base Camp between 11am and 12pm.
-
A team should consists of no more than 5 people, which includes children, who must all travel together in a single vehicle
-
The time for scavenging will be limited to 1.5hrs and will commence once you have registered.This is not a race as every team will start at a different time.The timeframe is only in place so everyone has a level playing field and will return to Base Camp within a reasonable timeframe so the event can function.
-
After the ‘Scavenger Hunt’ each team shall return to Base Camp to verify their finds, tot up the points and enjoy some refreshments whilst we wait for all the teams to return and announce the winner and award some prizes.
To make the most of your ‘Scavenger Hunt’ you should aim to bring with you:
-
A digital camera / smart phone with a function to take still images / short video clips and then display the still images / video clips to verify actions
-
A GPS
-
A writing implement
-
A means of transport
-
Items of Cowboy & Indian attire. This may include toy guns, hobby horses, bow & arrows, the more the better.

A sense of humour!
Food:
I’m planning to send spooky_luke to buy me a pasty and if you would like one as well put your order in with him on the day and give him a bit of cash and he will endeavour to have what you want waiting for your return to Base Camp.
Important:
As event setter I cannot accept any responsibility for any problems encountered during the day, including motoring accidents, speeding etc.
It is entirely your responsibility if you take part in the event.
By setting out on this event, the driver is responsible for any third party action that may arise during the day. I as organiser am not responsible for any actions by yourself at all.
See notes below re driver
There is no requirement to drive but if you do ensure you have a full tank of petrol.
Driver:
The Driver has to apply to all UK driving laws and therefore as such whilst the vehicle is moving must take no part in the ‘Scavenger Hunt’ (looking at GPS, reading maps, making decisions etc. He/she can take instructions from passengers as to which direction to drive in).
He/she must be in full control of the vehicle and even though the event is time based all speeding laws must be followed, and obviously drive slower if the conditions require.
Co-ordinates must be passed if the road conditions or traffic does not allow safe stopping.
It is the driver’s complete responsibility for the event and his/her passengers.
Driving faster than you would for an 'average' day out in the countryside is the driver’s responsibility, and I suggest for this event that it should not happen.
