On hearing the news that they had won three free Trails, the third names out of the hat on the Treasure Hunt Day for all the Family gave us this quote
'Apart from the rain, we had a fantastic time searching around Hereford and having the chance to learn some more of Hereford's history from the places that we just usually walk past. It was great to be out enjoying the outdoors and to put our brains into action, the perfect recipe for outdoor fun! We can't wait to try our new Treasure Trails.'
Sums it all up beautifully!

Thank You
Just sent out a thank you to all those who came to the Treasure Hunt Day for all the Family.....
Thank You
Well the weather was horrible, but still you came and tried one of our Treasure Hunts for all the Family! Thank you very much! The first, second and third out of the hat have been contacted and we are delighted that there was one person from each of the three types of Trails - easy, medium and hard.
The first name out of the hat was Claudia Williams. She said "we had a really fun and interesting day out even in the rain and wind which was so bad that our umbrella broke!" She had done the hard one. Second out of the hat was Rebecca Harris who did the easy one and third was Summer Reade & Holly Smith who did the medium one together.
If you had fun, then maybe you'd like to try one of our Treasure Trails in Herefordshire or Worcestershire - the medium and hard Trails were based on our standard Hereford and Hereford East Trails, but we have a third one around Hereford called Old Hereford which you can view if you click here.
Both David and Amanda will be at the biggest one day show in Wales - the Monmouth Show, which this year is being held on Thursday, 26th August. It is a fabulous day out situated on the banks of the River Wye in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We will also be at the Pershore Plum Festival on Monday, 31st August. Visitors can enjoy an abundance of ‘plum’ themed foods, ranging from ice cream to sausages and of course home grown delicious plums. The town will be transformed into plummy heaven to guarantee a great festival atmosphere. We hope to see you there.
So enjoy the rest of the holidays and we hope you have fun and get out and about in the fresh air!

Treasure Hunt Day for all the Family
Well its nearly here, after months of planning and collaborating and getting to know more people our Day for All The Family is tomorrow!
Take a look at the leaflet on this link http://www.treasuretrails.co.uk/herefordshire/20-August-2010.html
And listen to the radio on Friday morning BBC Hereford and Worcester - Tony Fisher's programme. Apparently, our pre-recorded and subsequently edited piece will go out between 9.00am and 10.00am. Caroline Forster from the Change4Life team and I met Julie, the researcher on a windy day earlier in the week (Monday) and told her all about our hopes for the day and why we were doing it.
We've got some great prizes - working on a first, second and third out of the hat process we have a family ticket for the Mappa Mundi exhibition in the cathedral together with 4 books from the Usborne "Make it" series. We have a cash prize equivalent to the number of treasure hunt booklets we sell tomorrow and we have 3 free Trails to give away. There will be goodie bags for all the kids that complete the Treasure Hunts and lots of balloons around too.
So, come and find us on the Cathedral Close between 10.00am and 2.00pm tomorrow - do either our easy, medium or hard Trail and the draw will take place at 3.45pm. The easy Trail is suitable for the smaller children who have to find the Normans. The medium and hard Trails are suitable for 7 years and upwards. The medium one is a murder mystery which takes around 1 and a bit hours and is centred around the city and the hard one takes about 2 hours and is a spy Trail which goes all the way out to Bartonsham Dairy and back along the river.
Hopefully those new to our Trails will get a taste for them and try one of the others in our catalogue of nearly 30!

Kidderminster Shuttle
A lovely published article by Cadisha Brown has resulted in quite a few sales - thank you Kidderminster Shuttle!
She wrote on Thursday 29th July :> Follow the clues to find smugglers’ treasure
MURDER mystery, treasure hunt and spy trails can be explored in Wyre Forest to help beat summertime boredom.
Youngsters and their families looking for some outdoor fun can search for treasure on a two-hour treasure hunt trail in Stourport.
Their quest will be to search for gold and silver bullion that was stolen by smugglers from a royal barge heading down the canal to the River Severn in the 18th century.
They will be given a map with clues around the town leading to the treasure’s location.
In Kidderminster, wannabe detectives can try to solve the clues in a murder mystery trail.
The case involves a series of unsolved murders committed in the town, which have been reopened.
It starts and finishes in Weavers Wharf and those taking part have to help solve the clues and work out who did the murders and what weapon was used.
Meanwhile, the Bewdley spy trail starts in Gardeners Meadow car park, where youngsters have to help “agent Jane Pond” follow clues and find the deactivation code for a device planted by “Dr Horribly Bad”.
He plans to flood Worcestershire and has planted the device somewhere in the town.
The trails have been organised by Treasure Trails Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It was started by David and Amanda Ingham with the aim of getting local people and visitors to see and learn more about the area.
David said: “We all know that British summertime weather can be a bit unpredictable but walking, exploring and solving clues is just as much fun in the sunshine as in the rain.
“Treasure trails are a great activity for the whole family to complete together as children, parents and grandparents can all get involved in finding and solving our exciting, innovative and fun mysteries.”
