2020 Peak District – Treasure Hunt – The Outcome

The Hunt for the Golden Ticket

Just a few words on the Treasure Hunt and where we got to.

As nobody has found the Golden Ticket as of March, and now we are fully in lock down as a result of the Corona Virus for several months, it makes sense to give the answer away and raffle the prize, the Golden Teapot, to April’s Peak District Design’s customers and put a little bit more joy back out there.

What was the answer?

Nobody cracked the clues and in all fairness there wasn’t that much time from gaining all the clue words and partly because I didn’t make it too easy.

The solution lay in the sequence:
this – peak – district – treasure – will – remain – snuggled – concealed – until – the teashop’s – final – servings – of the day – spout – great british – revitalisation – and the – golden ticket – reveals itself – from the kitchen – apron – hanging – outside – the – xxxxxxx café.

and that three of the words were hidden in stars on the daily clues graphics.

The three ‘Star’ words were… ‘Snuggled.Spout.Apron’ which are actually the ‘What3Words’ Grid reference for the Penny Pot Café in Edale.
(https://what3words.com is, as I am sure, many of you know now, a wonderful new navigation system that has mapped the whole world as a series of 3m squares and given them all a unique 3 word title).

The Golden Ticket, thanks to Chris, the new and very kind proprietor at the Penny Pot Café in Edale was to be found in a Peak District Design Apron Pocket hanging in his Café.

and now… TaDa!… The Golden Raffle

Anybody who makes an online purchase will automatically be entered into the Raffle and the Prize draw will be made on the first day of May 2020.
I’ll make sure the winner gets the prize and will publish the winner shortly afterwards.
