Scavenger Hunt 2023

The 2023 Halterworth Harriers Scavenger Hunt ran (quite literally) throughout January - here's a reminder of how the first couple of weeks went down: the Hunt is ON. 

Please see the emails from Natalie about how to submit your scores and evidence, which needs to be done by 10 February. Look out for plenty of debate about rule interpretation (blue plaques, we're looking at you!).

Please keep sharing your endeavours via email, Facebook or WhatsApp to keep each other’s spirits up! #harriersscavengerhunt2023
