Saturday May 31, 2008, 6.45am, and Adderbury Scouts' three
PLs set off to catch a ferry from Dover to France.
|
 |
On the ferry they
were given the seven tasks they had until 6pm to complete ... so time for
some research on the ferry.
Then a bit more
research in Tourist Information.
 |
|
Challenge 1:
Been to the place hidden by the anagram: IRON STEAM
|
 |
|
 |
Challenge 2:
Collected a French company promotional pen or pencil. |
|
Challenge 3:
Enjoyed a French ice cream in a market square.
OK ... that's the
ice creams ... but it needs to be in the market square. |
 |
OK, fair enough.
|
 |
Challenge 4:
Obtained details of a house for sale in France. |
|
Challenge 5:
Sent a card to the leader Olly Davies telling him
that the wine is good – in French!
 |
 |
|
Challenge 6:
Had your picture taken reading a French newspaper on the steps of a church. |
 |
Then a quick rest before the final task, and still with two
hours to go.
|
Challenge 7: Visited the place in
France where Charles de Gaulle was born.
Wait a minute ...
this is in Lille, and they are in St Omer. That's a 40 minute
drive to a city, and then a hunt to find De Gaulle's birth place.
Time is ticking!
There's just minutes left! |
 |
Got it ... at 6 minutes to 6!
And with all the challenges complete, its time to return to
the UK.
