October 2010 - Treasure Hunt

In 92 hrh saw a wet place,
With vehicles and vocals and weights you must trace.

You're soon to discover a great source of pain,
A fine way to travel, but what is it's name?

This creature will show you a street in the pete,
Continue the rhyme to find somewhere to meet.

The cr and p room, use c without c,
To find the old wood where a man runs, you'll see.

Have fun!

Yay, we're back again! Thanks for posting!! :j

Because we're early on, I'll use spoiler tags:

A few random musings, might be on completely the wrong track and I know we're supposed to start at the beginning but I'm getting nowhere quickly with that, but as a long shot I was wondering if "a street in the pete" meant a street in Peterborough?

There's a Roman road called Ermine Street (Check Wikipedia, the link was really obvious even with the spoiler tags when I posted it, so I removed it incase people didn't want to see it) that goes through Peterborough, and an ermine is a stoat, so would fit the creature part? At the moment I've got no idea how any of that would fit in with the rest of it, but will keep looking

Hello cashhunt and goodbye weekend.

I'm still sticking with the beginning. Do you think that HRH is a member of the royal family, or is that likely to be a red herring and it is someone with the initials HRH?

I can't find any major floods in the UK that would have been visited by a member of the royal family, neither can I find any water based sporting events that tie in with royalty.

Since the second line refers to vehicles, I'm thinking that the 92 is 1992, not 1892 or earlier. (although I suppose that horse drawn carriages would still be vehicles.)

Good luck everyone. I hope to meet you all here over the weekend.

I was thinking hrh may refer to the Queen and the wet place may be Windsor Castle after the fire in November 1992. Apparently, over 1 million gallons of water were used in fighting the fire. But, I can't link that to the 2nd line.

I was confused about the first bit too, I wasn't sure if it was a clue that it wasn't in capitals? (I'd noticed the different type for the clue, usually it's all in capitals, where as this time it's not bar the first letter of each line)

I was thinking that it could be earlier and that the vehicles could be boats? Like a shipyard or something? Maybe opened/visited by royalty if the hrh refers to them?

Edit: Meant to say, the hrh is confusing, because even if it is the royal family, it could be anyone as they all use it, so it makes it much more tricky!

But are boats and ships vehicles? I suppose it depends which definition you use. I would refer to them as vessels myself.

That's a good point, Wikipedia seems to think they're classed as vehicles, but I'm not sure on the official definition.

:DHi

Quite new and never seen these before. Hope you dont mind me following your musings as I love these things

1892 saw the 'Royal Sovereign' Warship completed (and maybe launched? prob at a dock etc?) Cant link yet but maybe this ties in with the 92 and royalty link and wet place?
