I think this will be a problem, and is why it should be opened up in the form of an Explorer day. Would get more involved.

It doesn't have to be GNE. Souter Lighthouse isn't served by GNE for example.

I also think Scavenger Hunt has the best form of competition, what with the sheer amount of possibilities you can have!


I think we should have a couple of 'trial runs' of these challenges at some point?

Maybe a mix of both? Not everything has to be a photo of a bus. Just work out what's along each route (Souter Lighthouse for example, as mentioned earlier), and include things like that. If people don't have cameras, many will have smart phones, or in groups at least someone would have either or.
Nothing to do with the eventual form of the game itself, but does anyone care to continue the trial that Andreos has done today - just for a bit of fun.

Maybe the winner perhaps?

I like puzzles!
