Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! We won the Nunt!

[fluffymark]

Yesterday Joe and Penny organized a fun Nunt (Treasure Hunt type thing) around central London. Several small groups of us teamed up, starting at Waterloo, competed to to hunt down the treasure waiting for us at the end. This was done by solving cryptic clues, working out where in London to go, and finding the desired answer to each clue, whereupon the next cryptic clue would be delivered (via SMS). Our adventures made us zigzag all over central London. I was teamed with Meg and Chris, and victory was mainly achieved by us being the only team to know that the `Winning Station' in the penultimate clue referred to Mornington Crescent (if you'll excuse the pun, the other teams really didn't have a clue) and thus were the first to arrive at Primrose Hill and find the treasure box (full of chocolate and alcohol. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Go us! :) :)

Primrose Hill is very pretty, and I'd not been there before, and has delightful views over London, and is an ideal (although crowded) picnic venue. I'll be pushing for picnics there in future, anyone interested? :) Also nearby is Marine Ices, who serve some of the best ice-cream I've had since Rome. Yummy yummy yummy. :) :)

Want ice cream now!

Someone told me that the Victorians wanted to solve their overcrowded cemetery issues by building a pyramid of dead people on Primrose Hill.

Their ice-cream is to die for. You have been warned. :) *droooooooool*

And I now have a highly disturbing mental image of primrose hill being a manmade hill created when they covered said pyramid of dead people with grass. Maybe thats what it really is. Maybe theres tunnesl and you can go and see the bones and everything, just like the Paris catacombs.

Maybe my imagination is hyperactive today. :)
