Fools Forage - Sunday 1st April

[Magoo]

Afternoon guys,

Thinking about organising something slightly different to the usual run in the form of a MINi treasure hunt. Upon arrival of the start point all cars / teams will be given a 'starter' pack which will contain all needed, from there it will be down to you to work the clues out, find your treasure and get to the end point...

Let me know if anybody would be interested and I'll start planning :D

Confirmed

1. Andrew
2. Pete and Eddie
3. Brian and Christina
4. Ali and Laura
5. Cat and Davy
6. Mom and Dad
7. Chloe, Lynn, Stuart
8. Andy and Elaine

[DigitalLemming]

Something a bit different so count me in [emoji1303]

[inevpart]

Sounds good to me too, but also date dependant

[Catster]

Sounds like a good laugh, but like the others would depend when it was. [emoji13]

If you could make it the last week in March, any date from Sat 24th - Sun 31st but not Tues 27th, I’d be up for it.
I’m off work all that week and have no plans at all apart from celebrating my 50th.

I've checked my calendar and I'll be working the weekend of 24th and 25th but I could do the run for Sunday 1st of April? Could that work? You put Sunday 31st but the Saturday is the 31st... Don't think I'd get as many people for a Saturday activity lol

Ive now put on my reading glasses and rechecked the calendar !!!
[emoji30]
Sorry.
[emoji22]
That would personally suit me perfectly due to the fact that the following day, Monday 2nd April is a Bank Holiday down here, so I’d be able to use the day to recover.
[emoji4]
Thank you and many apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Sounds like it’ll be great fun, and I’ll def try to come. Unfortunately though I am working that weekend and with it being Easter Sunday it might be hard to swap, but I’ll try my best [emoji3]

April works better for us as the MINI might not be taxed until then! Will make a call nearer the time in case the kids diary takes over!! What's the likely start point?

[Magoo]

Unsure of a start location at the moment as I need to plan the elements to it, only decided yesterday to do it. Will update when I know more

[Fuzzy]

This sounds interesting! Could be up for this. Put me down as a provisional yes for now and I'll confirm nearer the time :-)

[weefossy]

Yes please for Mom and I

[Julz]

Put us down as a maybe as it depends on location and on call rotas etc! [emoji1303][emoji16]

[Catster]

Got the day off!! Yay! 🤣[emoji16]

[Magoo]

Hey guys!
So I've been doing a bit planning and can confirm a start place of Tesco at Bonnyrigg around 11ish for an 11.15am start...

All game rules, lists and anything you may need will be provided on arrival - all you may need is a fully charged phone! Google may be used at some point :smilewinkgrin:

I'd also advise two in a car so pick your car buddy carefully!

That’s blatant singleism !!!
[emoji15]
...if that’s not a real word it is now.
[emoji12]
Is there a version of Tinder for car buddies ?

The apps called 'phone book' if you look for someone listed as Andrew I'd try there lol or try and steal Cat from Davy lol

What’s a “phone” and what’s a “book” ?
[emoji15]
You young ‘uns have some very strange and modern ways !!!
[emoji30]
Us old fogeys just can’t keep up...

I do have a very cunning plan for how I may be able to “borrow” someone else’s partner though...

Theres Eddie as well mind. I know he’s trying to get along

[Magoo]

Well if your only borrowing then that's fine lol normally I'd share William but I kind of need him on the day...

[CiderFex]

I’d be more than happy to have Eddie as a passenger if he’s up for it.
[emoji4]
I’m not too sure that he’d be as happy wi mi driving though !!!

Pete, I'll happily be your passenger, but WHEN we win, I want half the credit as your co-pilot ��

Top man Eddie.
[emoji4]
You can have 51% of the credit when we win, I’m nice like that.
[emoji12]
You’ll need some wipes and antibacterial gel though, the inside of the car will be minging.

Just back from doing a run through of the activity, I estimate it will take approx. 2 - 2 1/2 hours to complete depending on how long each team take at each location (there's no rush!). The end point has been booked for lunch for those wishing to eat whilst points are added. I can't really tell you anymore until the morning off, look forward to seeing you then!

[EcosseGP]

Excellent work Megan. Looking forward to this ... can’t beat something a little different ! [emoji106]

[MINI William]

[badwolf340]

Weather is looking good for today ,see you all later

[badwolf340]

Thanks to William and Megan for organising today , had a great time with lots of fun ,food stop was excellent as well :thumbs up:

[Magoo]

Thanks guys! It was our pleasure, good to do something a bit different... I'll start planning next years... Might make it a bit longer lol

[MINI William]

Thanks everyone. As always, it was our pleasure to organise. It was great to do something a bit different and we’re pleased that everyone enjoyed it. Next years planning is underway

[weefossy]

Pictures?

[Catster]

Thank you so much to Megan and William for organising such a great day. I really did enjoy myself, despite my meltdown! [emoji31] A lot of hard work obviously went in to today, and it was greatly appreciated! So great to catch up with everyone as well, I do love an NMS day out xx

Thanks a million Megan for today’s expedition. It’s always good to try something new and original and personally I thought it worked well. As we discussed it needs a tweak here and there but I’m sure you’ll have it all in hand for the next one.
Great to hear that Andrew kept up his usual carry on with his first to finish at all cost (with his new partner in crime Chloe) !! Ali don’t get drawn in to his tactics next time lol.
A good laugh with everyone as normal and great to see some “new cars” being revealed !!
Well done to Andy and Elaine for turning on the style and winning today’s forage ... I’ll need to get my driver to try harder next time ... can’t believe that we lost by an inflatable guitar [emoji450] lol.
As I’ve said before it’s not the winning it’s the taking part that counts and well done to everyone that made the effort to pop along and take part today.
Also a special thanks to Lynn for the wee treats (and of course the rocky road) that kept us going in between clues although I think she was using that was a distraction tactic !!

Not long to our next meeting so if you missed out on this we’ll maybe see you next time

Thank you to Megan for an awesome day out.
I honestly loved the idea and execution and would happily journey back up for the next one.
The weather was a tad chaotic but did not put a downer on the day in any way.
I don’t think that the New Car Boys did too badly to be honest and at least we didn’t come last even though we did have the odd “hiccup” or two.
lol

Haha love it Chloe! Liked Andrew skidding into the Mining Muesum and I was looking for the inflatables along the roads ����

Thanks for coming along and taking part, it's what makes the day when we all don't take ourselves too seriously haha hopefully we'll get some photos up later tonight as we got some of people at Borthwick castle. Wish I filmed Ali, Laura, Chloe and Andrew as it was a mad rush to block / side tackle and in Chloe's case run under people to get the the clue and gold lol

[Crombers]

Looked like a great day, sorry we couldn't make it
