The Greenwich Treasure Hunt

22 August 2011
What with all those great things for kids to do (see below) I clean forgot to mention something groovy for the grown-ups and bigger kids with shiny iphones and Android stuff.

A maptastic new app was released earlier this year called WalkExplorer and with it you can get hold of the iphone and Android enabled Greenwich Treasure Hunt which, apparently, could set you up with a grand prize of £1000.

Wasim Juned, who told me all about WalkExplorer, said: "The Greenwich Treasure Hunt is a diabolical quest that takes you in a search for clues around, above and below Greenwich. Searching for answers to the clues will take you on a trip through some of the amazing places that Greenwich has to offer including the National Maritime Museum and the Old Royal Naval College."

I had a look and it's great. The clues are just tricky enough to make you have to think about them, but not so hard that you have to give up and sit down on the pavement for a little cry.

You can get other walks as well, including strolls in Rotherhithe, Mayfair, the South Bank and Pooh Bear's Forest, but if I were you I'd get the Treasure Hunt and come to Greenwich because it's just better here and that's that.

The first part of the pot of gold - £200 - is only available until 31 August so cancel your plans for next weekend and get on the trail... You can download WalkExplorer and the Greenwich Treasure Hunt from the Apple or Android App stores or find out a bit more about the Treasure Hunt here.
