Excellent Tavia 
Forgot to say - treasure hunt will be about 1 1/2 hours to allow for those with younger passengers and the rest of you hard core lot can always do it twice if that's too short for you

I'll second Stuart's comments. Please would you ask the big bad Scooby owners to be very gentle with us? I'm only coming along to see these mighty rally bred supercars which I aspire to owning one day
My poor little Skoda only has approx 74bhp & is too quiet
you can barely hear it over a Scoob with a full decat and Magnex

Sorry - lost count of hte amount of time's I'd edited - inital post below
Hello all
Just a quick thread to raise the profile of this truely excellent event - our "First Annual Southern Treasure Hunt" staged by the Hants crew for any that fancy coming along
On some of the best roads in Hampshire we can promise you long sweeping bends, tight twisies, picturesque (however you spell it
) villages to rumble through, fantastic countryside and a typical country pub with a large field for us when we finish What more could you want?
...ahh, yes - a bit of friendly competition The treasure hunt will start at Tesco's car park conviently placed at Junction 9 of the M3 opposite an Optimax station (). Arrive at 10/10.15 and be given your route instructions, starting times from 10.30 onwards at invterval's of 2 minutes. The finish point will be at a lovely pub just to the north west of Petersfield (so not to far for you guys in the Counties to the east of Hampshire) where prizes will be given and lunch can be obtained (*proper* "home" cooked food )
The clues won't be too difficult - none of this sitting in the start car park for 2 hours trying to figure which exit on the first roundabout to take, but they will be a bit challenging and if you miss some you'll miss out on some great stopping points and roads The hunts for the clues will come off the main route in loops, so you'll have a chance for a blast along before turning off briefly (onto more excellent roads) to discover answers - co-drivers will have to keep their eyes open though
There'll be a small list of scavenger items and a map pack to help you out if you get lost (-10 points for every map opened though)), I'll be along the route filming at some point and the mobile will be on with my large OS map by my side to guide you to saftey if you end up in Portsmouth 
I'm going to get some prizes - so a donation of about £2 a car would be welcome, don't want to stop people coming if they don't want to give though, so don't let that put you off
So - our provisional list of attendees is:
Rach and Mark
Random Landy people?
Andy
Gregk
Jay
Scooby-tc
Stoker and Lyn
Steve + Tony
uktony + Missus
Symon + Sam
Len
Orcane + Sarah
TaviaRS
Mart360 + the mini navigator
Fatman (tbc)
Robin + the little Hines (tbc)
Ian W (tbc)
Chris + Jen
Paul (pub only)
Stuart J (pub only - hangover dependant)
Also going to post on Briskoda...
Can you *really* afford to miss this?

lol - Mart's won then Hehe....and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo Stuart - no-one believes you
You'll all be fine - def. not "first back" more "who gets the most questions right" In fact, there's a penalty if you're back too quick as that means you've been speeding in the little villages which is naughty

lol @ Stuart - not a bad idea Don't have to borrow one either as my brand new spanking laser gun is sat right under my desk <cue evil laughter> But no, I will be kind and will just take the DV Camera
Special consideration will be given to those attempting the treasure hunt alone....please be careful though guys! No reading notes whilst sliding around corners!
