Annual Dead Man's Treasure Hunt

Post by Avengerholic »

Just wondered if this was still going, it was quite a big thing at one point. You don't seem to hear much about it these days. I remember (although many years ago I admit), that photos and details both before and after the event were posted on line in various places. These days there seems to be hardly a mention of it anywhere! Pity really.

Probably took a hiatus during the Covid years but I think the intent is still there. I'd like to know, too!

I believe it did, yes. Although even before the pandemic source information and pictures of the event were as rare as hens teeth.

It had an understandable break in 2020 and 21 but it took place again last year. I didn't attend but I got the emails about it. Chris Bentley usually sends the invitations out around now.

Edit: I've just found a useful thread here: Dead Man's Treasure Hunt - locations and news

Its only time pressures that have prevented me from posting up pictures (although I did post some up last year, I think) but it’s still going strong and this year’s event will take place over the weekend of 30.06.23 - 02.07.23. I should probably start doing some work on it….

Bless you, Andrew - we certainly have done so far. The weather wasn’t great last night, meaning that the bridge was looking a bit drab, but no less atmospheric for it:
