sorry gang, lost me 'tinternet access last night.

we plan to do three mini treasure hunts before the end of the year, and we will base them in a location that is convienient to the majority of those who apply. then we will be doing a 4 day-er in may next year.

if youd like to come along please just register your interest via the site then we can start a'plannin.

remember shipmates, the more of you join in the more fun well have and the more money well raise.

many thanks,
Capn Scurvy Nervy.

Garrrr.

Ahoy there shipmates, apologies for the delay, I’ve been outrunning the law for a few days after I was seen smuggling back issues of The Garrrdian. But, I've returned with a plan to set your breeches on fire. so best break out the nomex breeches.

So then, now that we’ve got a fine, hearty crew its time to set sail on our first adventure. We’ve had a look at the roster and we reckon the place closest to you all, with the fairest amount of travelling for all will be Buckinghamshire, which we reckon is at the most a couple of hours for the most far flung of you. Garr.

We be setting sail at 11 am on Saturday the 28th October and its a tenner per person to enter, with a max cost of twenty quid per car, so you could fill a people carrier if you want to help you in your quest. For this you will get your map, your patch, your clues, your swag bag, your plunder list and your balloon. And not to mention the chance to find the golden hook, and thereby compete the next time for free.

all profits will be going to our fellow salty sea-dogs the RNLI.

After our quest, well all retire to the nearest hostelry and sing sea shanties until were hoarse, or you just want to go to sleep for a bit. If you so wish we can easily find out the names of somewhere nice for you to stay.

The exact meeting point of our smugglers cove will be revealed closer to the time, but first we really need all of our crew to sign in and let us know you’re coming, so that we can prepare your pirate equipment.

So then, lets be 'avin you.

Once you are "invited" to attend by the firm you cannot decline.

Do you own a rabbit and a large stewing pot?


Honest mate, I'm not coming, no threat could be worse than the trauma I feel over the loss of my parrot..... shame really, thought he was gonna be a reliable companion but it turns out he was pecking at other pirates as well as me.... which makes him a rather foul (geddit) and unsavory (no good for even a stew) parrot.

if it helps, i saw a cockatoo in the gents earlier...

Garrr, you filthy dogs. It be on. It be so on.

so, its time to pack up your napsacks cos saturday be the big day. we be sailing for the high seas (or generally around buckinghamshire. whichever has less traffic.) and wrestling gorgons, mermaids, giant squid and evil herpes. oh, wait. not herpes. ive got that wrong. its syphillis we'll be battling. anyhoo, all itching aside, we cant wait to see you all, its going to be such an ace day. i promise. and as a fully regsitered pirate, thats a promise you can take to the bank. albeit, only for me to rob the bank later.

oooo, also, all of your packs are ready. in 'em youll find:

a sack for putting booty in.

a list of booty you need to aquire to put in your booty sack (see above).

a map of the area which have marked on them the extent of the perimeter were using (so that some of you dont set sail for wales).

a balloon (well, you never know).

a sticker for your window to say you took part.

your first clue.

and a rather fetching patch.


you wont need anything else, so all you need bring is yourselves and a willingness to laugh. we simply cant wait for you all to see what weve got planned, and itll be so fab to meet you all.

in the meantime, if you have any questions at all you can either mail me or Birdseye on arrr@dubloon-hoon.co.uk or call me on 07760178040. this number will be on all week and also on staurday morning so if any of you lilly livered landlubbers get lost or anything please dont hesitate to call.

finally, please, we want to have as fun filled a day as possible, so if you cant make it for some reason, please dont leave us all hanging around waiting for you to show up. were looking to raise more than smiles here gang

thanks for supporting such a great cause shipmates, you be making a difference that cant be measured thumbup
