We enjoyed the treasure hunt from a couple of weeks ago so much that we did another 12 item treasure hunt this week.

Having learned from the evil and picky judge from last week, the gang were determined to set things right this week...some maybe hoping the judge would be a little more lenient this week.....we'll have to find out.....

The 12 items on the list were:

  1. Picture of an animal shaped cloud formation
  2. Picture of a clever business name.
  3. House/building numbers with your date of birth. Day one house number, month another and year can be two seprate ones. So my DOB is 26/1/1978. So I'd have to get a house number that is 26, then one that is a 1, then either one that is 19 and then 78 or one that is 197 and then one that is 8. Make sense?
  4. Black car next to a red car
  5. A cool or funny bumper sticker (doesn't have to be on a bumper...but does have to be on a vehicle)
  6. Run in all different colours. Shoes, Socks, Bottoms and Top all have to be a different colour...socks have to be odd too
  7. Leave a nice message somewhere (without vandalising anything!!!!)
  8. Selfie outside your favourite past GoodGym task (or if you're not in Bournemouth, outside a charity of your choice)
  9. Selfie outside a blue builidng
  10. 10. Barefoot walk in water
  11. Karate Kid pose with the background of your choosing. Bonus if it's on a groyne by the sea
  12. Find a heart-shaped stone.

Some great efforts as always and many came very close to getting all 12 spot on. Fredrika, Karen and Charlotte manged to come in top spots and the exact order of the podium will be revealed in a bit...

Due to the fact that some items were going to come down to a matter of opinion, the judge was a little more lenient this week.....

Cool bumper stickers.....well, what is cool? And with all our differing ages, cool is most definitely going to be very different from one person to another, so we'll let things slide on that one!

Animal shaped cloud formations....also a tricky one so we accepted that each person saw some kind of animal...foxes, sheep, crabs....the lot!

The cars did cause an issue this week again for some of us....I failed for instance, mine were behind each other....in the race for the podium between Fredrika, Karen and Charlotte, this one also played a huge role. What is red? Is it burgundy, I think not, sorry Bourton's!

But Karen and Charlotte did get the bonus point for their Karate Kid shot on a groyne, bringing back lots of memories of Ralph Macchio!

So after lots of consideration the podium looks like this: 1st Fredrika (getting all 12 technically spot on) 2nd Karen and Charlotte (11 out of 12 but with a bonus point getting them super close to top spot, but not quite!) 3rd Me....(because same reason as for Karen and Charlotte basically....and ladies come first)

Next week is our last Fitness Challenge so have a think what you would like it to be. From July the focus will be on setting up more Community missions which will be taking over these challenges and group runs until we can gather in larger numbers.

Well done everyone!!
