This touring event is primarily a fundraiser for the R1 Group’s adopted charity for 2023, the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice. Secondly, it offers an appealing 120 mile tour of some of the most interesting roads in South Lanarkshire, Dumfries and Galloway and East Ayrshire.
The Treasure Hunt competition is not a race, but will test your awareness, observation and recognition skills by gathering clues and points at 4 specified locations along the route. You will benefit from having a passenger (or passengers), both as a navigator and second pair of eyes, although it can be completed solo. Prizes will be awarded for the first three highest points scorers.
The start point for registration and departures is the Dakota Hotel, Eurocentral, ML1 4WQ, meeting from 9:30 and departing at 10:00. The finish point is the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice (Bellahouston Park, 20 Dumbreck Road, Glasgow, G41 5BW). Completion of the route and the gathering of clues are likely to take participants around 5 hours. Timings will vary depending on how quickly you drive between key points and how observant you are in gathering clues.
Intrigued? Then sign up today. It will be a lot of fun and just a little different from a routine run out in your Porsche. The cost will be £20 per person, all of which will go to the Hospice. The £20 ticket includes your event entry, afternoon BBQ provided by the excellent Hospice cafe, and a donation to this worthy cause and wonderful facility. Prizes will be awarded to the lucky winners and there will be a Charity raffle at the Hospice .
