Keep your Eyes on the Prize

Sunday was my first experience of a Belfast Treasure Hunt. I don’t know if there has been Belfast Treasure Hunts before but I think there should be more in the future.

Tips for anyone participating in a Treasure Hunt:

1) If you are going with a team be sure to pick them carefully. Apparently maps are a difficult thing to agree on.

2) Unless the hunt goes through Victoria Square, the female members of your team could lose interest very quickly

3) Keep one eye on the road and one eye on the map. Bus drivers are not a friend of the treasure hunter

4) Keep both eyes on the prize. Nando’s is not the intended treasure.

Sorry Jessica. You may have noticed my team didn’t actually make it to the finish line. After a wrong turn we ended up miles off route and while trying to get ourselves back on course we got talking about food and next thing you know...

Anyway we got round a fair bit of it and it was great craic. We came across land marks that had only previously been found by jumping in a taxi late at night. Very well organised – a different way to see the city, and meet a few new people along the way.
