Nowton Park Fairy Trail

It was half-term. That meant there was a trail to follow in Nowton Park. You get the answers sheet (and a pencil) from the rangers' hut by the car park. The idea is that you search around the park to find the questions and fill in the answers as you go. Here's the answer sheet.

As you can see, the theme this time was "Fairies", and all the questions are related to that theme. The questions are pinned up on trees, benches, fences - whatever. Here's one we found on the ground which had escaped.

It was all good reading practice for Little Miss. Here she is with the Missus working one out.

They made it really simple this time by putting them sequentially along the paths. I think it's much better when you really have to hunt for them, but maybe people had complained that it was too hard to find them all. We did spot that 2 had gone missing, and I think we should have got some "brownie" points for finding this...

The invisible clue was revealed only by its drawing pins! Despite being unable to answer the invisible question (I knew we should have let Little W bring his sonic screwdriver) we got a prize for completing the trail. Yippee!
