The Backpackers Annual Treasure Hunt takes place some where in the Lake District on a weekend at the beginning of April each year. This year marks the 18th year of the Treasure Hunt, an event that is very good for the navigation and the development of stamina as well as the opportunity to meet fellow members of the club. Thanks are due to Bruce and Harry  (see picture of Bob Malvern to see what they look like) for all the hard work they put in which makes the treasure hunt such a success.
