a while! We did it in teams and it took us the weekend. such good fun!
I think it could all be done over a weekend (Sat and Sun) if you don't hang about and start early each day. Combine it with a river cruise to Greenwich - I went there by bus, but it took forever.
We are hoping to use the traesure hunt shortly but would like some idea of how long the sections (and/or the whole thing) would take? Any experienced hunters out there know?
Lexy, I gave you one of the answers you were looking for - when are you going to send me the one I need?

Another victim of the strike! Therefore don't have 33, and unsure about answer to 29. Anyone willing to trade? Great fun despite the strike. Thought I knew London quite well...
How on earth did the 2nd May come round so quickly?! I have also missed out on the tate due to strike action.... are they joking?
Off out after work tomorrow night to find the Lincoln's Inn Fields clue. I have got all the others and am willing to swap any for the Egg one.
my email is: louisawood29@yahoo.co.uk
Oops, forgot - you'll need this.. iluvelvez@hotmail.com.
Blinkin' strike - don't they realise there's a Treasure Hunt on? The Egg one is the only one I can't get. Help! I have all the other answers if you need to exchange. Though I'm worried I may have the Brompton Oratory one wrong because of what Richard said.
I have the answer to question 43 (Tate)! If you want it please let me know the answers to 22 and 23! Please email lexyloola@gmail.com - talk soon!
Unable to get answers to 21-23 in Greenwich plus questions 33 and 43. Have all other answers! If you want to trade please email me at lexyloola@gmail.com. Thanks!
