On Saturday 19th July, local families took up the challenge and became Wichelstowe Explorers for the day. The trail which can be completed on the Huntly app invites local residents to search for 12 different items found in the Wichelstowe area. Around 50 people visited the stall near the canal and received their official Explorer stickers before heading out on the hunt.
With most families finding the majority of items and a number collecting all 12 during the afternoon, prizes were awarded to all. With the trail taking in East, Middle and West Wichel there were also some tired legs at the end of the day. The younger explorers were however spurred on to win one of the hedgehog mascots which proved the days big hit.
The trail runs until September so why not try it yourself. Once you have collected all 12 items you can enter the prize draw through the app.
