Chris O'Dowd has suggested and planned this treasure hunt with a difference:
Meet at Brechin Castle Garden Centre between 9 & 9.30 for breakfast and then participants will be given eight locations from which they choose five to visit. You have to answer a question at each location to prove you have been there. Plan your route and proceed to the finish point where we can have a picnic or if the weather does not co-operate there is an inside venue available.
The aim will be to reach the finish in the shortest distance. Those taking part need to use their skill & judgement to select the five locations and route between them and the finish to achieve the lowest mileage as there will be a number of permutations both in the order of locations and the routes between them. I hope that members will find this a fun and interesting format and that it will encourage those wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/partners etc. who may not usually go on runs or to the club nights to come along as it`s more than "just cars and driving around".
It is important to stress that there is no advantage to speed, and that this is a non-competetive event - even so, you should check your own insurance policy to make sure you are covered - every policy is different!
Maps will be available at the start (You can use your own maps but no satnav use allowed!) along with clipboards, pens etc. There will be some prizes for the 3 best results.
