I shall pass that onto the person in the village who keeps telling everyone that one can't have treasure hunts (even though they'd like to) any more and let them research it further.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-87888254634779384312009-09-09T20:33:58.811+01:002009-09-09T20:33:58.811+01:00In a box somewhere is a bunch of ribbons that I wo...In a box somewhere is a bunch of ribbons that I won at different events with my canning, knitting, cross stitch and paintings. It sounds to me like it would have been a whole lot more fun and less work to be a judge instead.

Such events are authorised automatically under Regulation 5(a) of the legislation", which is what we had. If you're going to have more than 12 vehicles, and up to 180 for day or 120 by night, you can apply for a licence.<br /><br />It also suggested that casual treasure hunts, as different from rallies, were given more leeway. I also read somewhere that the average speed should not be more than 30mph. <br /><br />http://www.glass-uk.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=253&Itemid=491<br /><br />From an insurance website I looked at, it's clear that ordinary insurance would not cover you for rallying, but as it didn't mention a small group of people doing a non-timed treasure hunt, I can't give you an answer. The route took us on the A143 for a mile and then down quiet country roads - we certainly didn't hold anyone up and there wasn't a competitive element regarding time, only in the number of correct answers. We were timed, but this was only to make sure no one did it too fast, which would have meant disqualification.<br /><br />My friends really are careful about the letter of the law and when we asked, at the time it was being set up, they had all the answers for us.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-74579649100658830762009-09-07T22:13:26.010+01:002009-09-07T22:13:26.010+01:00No, I thought they'd been completely banned fo...No, I thought they'd been completely banned for safety reasons. The times I've been behind people in cars slowing down, speeding up, stopping and starting without indicating, clearly looking for landmarks/clues with no thought for other road users whatsoever (I suppose in all the excitement). There was even a crash in Local Small Village between 2 competing cars 14 years ago. Most dangerous.<br /><br />I think I'm right in saying that the wording in insurance documents now makes sure there is no cover for those taking part in any sort of 'competitions' (including treasure hunts as well as rallying etc etc).Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-82339077784110751932009-09-07T09:48:12.616+01:002009-09-07T09:48:12.616+01:00If it would make me a size 4, Martina, I'm mov...If it would make me a size 4, Martina, I'm moving to the US.
