A big thank you to the intrepid crews who came out to have a go at the Top bit of the Forest Treasure Hunt just a come of days after Storm Eunice had wreaked havoc across the area.<\/p>\n
Despite our best efforts to check that no trees had blocked the route – two more came down over Saturday night and caused some very imaginative re-routing by several crews with the prize for furthest off route going to The Boyall family who quite reasonably returned to the Old Beams prematurely for lunch.<\/p>\n
The Old Beams were fabulous hosts for us and big thanks to them for opening early and then helping several crews sort out some food without booking – great service!<\/p>\n
There were also some spectacular results – including a 100% correct card from The Baileys who admitted to knowing several of the clues before they passed them!<\/p>\n
However there were also some great results from other crews and with a total of 56 points being the maximum the results were as follows:<\/p>\n
> The Baileys\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 56
\n> Two Birds in the Blue Bird\u00a0 \u00a0 54
\n> The Cool Cucumbers\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 52 (higher tie break score)
\n> Graham Hoare & Co\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 52 (lower tie break score)
\n> No Tax\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 47 (higher tie break score)

\n> MR2some\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 37 (very early return to the pub though!)
\n> The Petts\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 28.5
\n> The Boyalls\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 28 (furthest diversion off route award!)<\/p>\n
There were also a couple of crews who didn\u2019t finish but as one of them broke down next to a pub and the other intends to complete the route on another day they were excluded for Illegal Servicing and Failing to comply with the reasonable requirements of an event to end on the day it started.<\/p>\n
Hopefully everyone had fun and maybe we can run another in slightly kinder weather!<\/p>\n
