Fantastic logic and hunting raniannen. My laptop doesn't want to load the floor plan but it sound exactly right.

Since I thought Petersfield didn't fit from dragon I've been all over the country looking and following some really tenuous links. It's nice to know that for at least a while I was on the right track.

Thank You Lord!


Well Done Everyone and nice find reniannen !


I've enjoyed my 1st cash hunt,hope the next ones soon :P

Must try to follow and develop my own lines rather than confuse things generally!

JoeyGrey

Oh wow, well done!! I'm so relieved - I can recite the clues off by heart and find myself chanting bits of it as if that's going to make the answer jump out at me! I can think about something else for a while.

That said, can't wait for the next one now! :beer:

andzk

Hello Again

Ok heres what i've got. From Carsington the source is Ambergate as that is where the water comes from. In Ambergate there is a Pub that is called the Hurt Arms. The Hurt Arms is the take off point for a balloon flight company which is a fine way to travel and this company is called the Dragon Balloon Company. So I'm going with Dragon as my Creature.

ooh posted as I was typing, this looks really promising!

There's a Dragon St in Petersfield, The best I can find there is the former Green Dragon Inn, now JSW a restaurant and hotel. The rooms aren't named....

argh flippin heck I still think we're there my brain's just turned to mush on this one. I thought contunue the rhyme was filler, if it does mean something I don't know what

:j:j:j I think I might have it

I went back to Petersfield, I was convinced it must be right it fitted too perfectly, then went back to my old idea that the rhyme might be the adjoining village of Sheet. This time I found this place

On that site there is a floorplan which shows a room labelled Changing Room & Props

Which would give us Hanging Wood :D

this one in Yorkshire is associated with Robin Hood and a river flows through it called

Robin Hood's stream

looks good to me??


oh my goodness, well done everyone!! :T:T
Thought we were never going to get there, I'd never have got this one in a million years.

And to break it down:

In 92 hrh saw a wet place,
With vehicles and vocals and weights you must trace.
In 1992, Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth opened Carsington Water (Car-Sing-Ton = Vehicle - Vocal - Weight)

You're soon to discover a great source of pain,
The water for Carsington Water is sourced from Ambergate, where there is a pub called the Hurt Arms.

A fine way to travel, but what is it's name?
The Hurt Arms is a launch site for the Dragon Balloon Company

This creature will show you a street in the pete,
There is a Dragon Street in Petersfield
Continue the rhyme to find somewhere to meet.
Zoom out from Petersfield, and you will see a town called Sheet. A meeting place would be the Village Hall.

The cr and p room, use c without c,
To find the old wood where a man runs, you'll see.
On the floor plan of the village hall is a room marked Changing Room and Props. Take the word changing, and remove the C you are left with Hanging. Hanging Wood was part of Barnsdale Forest, where the original Robin Hood ballads are set. Robin Hood was an outlaw or a running man. Robin Hood's Stream (which also runs) is here, and that is believed to be the answer.

Well done all. :T:T:T :beer:

reniannen

all correct except it's Petersfield, not Peterborough

It's good to see it written out like that, thanks

They usually start a new one at the beginning of every month, unless nobody solves it correctly, in which case, they have been known to torture us by extending it for another month.

I was thinking about having a go at the Murder Hunt on their site. (But that is not good money saving, because you have to pay to enter that one, so I wouldn't post it on here.) But when I checked the site, I see that they are not accepting registrations for it anyway.

Hope to see you all again in November.

Still not showing last months in completed games.

ClosingTime

Have you seen the trailfinders ones? I think they are in the dailies?

reniannen

Has anyone looked at this one? It was posted on the board by a self promoter and I bookmarked it but thought it looked a wee bit amateurish/fishy at the time and forgot about it. I checked whois and it's actually uk based but the prize is $250. Your first hunt is free but it costs $1 each month afterwards. It's an almost identical format to cashhunt.

eta - having a go, nothing to lose. Doing ok so far, it's a bit less cryptic than cashhunt. It's not just uk locations either.

kragen_ironfist

*stumbles in panting* sorry I'm late, last months was solved so quickly I forgot all about it this month...

oh I see you solved it already.

well done shame I wasn't here at the start, not sure I'd have got any further tho - think I might start compiling the explained results lol
