Here are some comments from the people who took part in the last treasure hunt challenge

 

The Williams family

"We had a fab day - thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and being the rather surprised winners, it made it extra special!  Well done Debbie once again for organising a great day out."

Louise, Andy and Ian

"We Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your effort and time on Sunday.  It was a brilliant day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Well done"

David

"We had a brilliant day. Thank you for organising such a fantastic event.  I know how much hard work must have gone into it."

 

Derek and Sue

"I would just like to say a very BIG thanks for all your hard work into organising a superb day out traversing roads and visiting places we would not perhaps even had thought of going to.  You may have just found a new role in life as I am sure others like me will be wanting more of the Debbie brain teasers. Sunday we are told is a day of rest, I have never worked so hard on a Sunday for ages, but oh what fun!"

 

Golding Family

"One of our reasons for taking the leap over the water was to have more family time. Since moving to France we dived straight into starting our business along with renovating our home and that of two others into Gites. When we are at home we never seem to find the time to have fun, so the treasure hunt was a fantastic way to get us out as a FAMILY to have fun and explore this beautiful part of France.  Will we do it again?   Try stopping us!     When's the next one?  A fantastically organised event, credit to Debbie and her helpers."
