As a little teaser... The envelope will be located within 'Gateshead' somewhere.

Yes, if you and everyone else who is taking part can drop me a PM - I will respond to that message with the clues.

It appeared my inbox was full - so messages couldn't get through.
Sorted now.

Just edited the settings... It was previously set at 200, but have removed this so that all members can store unlimited PMs like Admins.

The envelope has been hidden!

It is in 'Gateshead'.

PM's will be sent to those who have pm'd me - containing the first clue.

Public transport must be used.

For a reminder of rules, please see the first post in this thread.

Hopefully the waterproof protection has worked!

Soaked through in the process. Not to mention looking shifty trying to retrieve the envelope.

Who else was in on it? Never seen anyone about, apart from Bazza in Newcastle

You and Danpick were getting the clues.

If this game was to be played again, I am not sure the clues would be used again.
Maybe just announce the location outright via PM, with the quickest person there the winner.

I think the clues were a good idea, but perhaps too much of a delay between clue 1 and 2. It was a good thing to announce in advance of the rough area, as it helps us folk over 16/18 decide what ticket to buy. The location was actually quite good, but I think it may not be too suitable for some of our younger members, as it's quite secluded at that junction.

Good effort to go all the way over there and drop the envelope though. Big Grin

The location was inspired by talk of Saltwell Airways recently (with one of the park entrances being next to the junction).
Interesting to get your opinion of it being secluded though. I didn't think it was, but worth taking into account.

Then there was the balance of putting it near a main road, being near bus services and not so that every Tom, Dick and Harry would see it.

Obviously the perk of that location was that ANE and GNE run along Durham Road.
GNE and Nexus Bus run along Saltwell Road, with Joicey Road linking the two.

Take on board comments about the gap between the two clues - blame 'life' getting in the way Wink

Out of interest, where was the envelope hidden? I was playing at home with the aid of the first hint only. Tongue

Did you have any ideas or inklings from the first clue then? Wink

It was hidden by one of the entrances to Saltwell Park on the junction of East Park Road and Joicey Road.

After the location was announced, it was hidden out of the way but also quite obvious. White envelope sticking out of some of the ivy on the ground.

My immediate assumption was somewhere near Birtley (ANE and GNE), given that it would have been too obvious to hide it somewhere near a location where a Go North East and Stagecoach North East's X34 served.

Wasn't too far off, I guess... Tongue
