Some of you may have heard about the Big Egg Hunt around London. I think it officially closes this weekend however I did my bit when it first opened in order to try and get in as many entries as possible to win The Diamond Jubilee Faberge Egg.
It was quite fun as they were not all that easy to find. I think I ended up finding just over 30 of them however there were 209 from memory in total. One thing I did find frustrating though was that I started my egg hunt on the very first day and they hadn't all been set up yet. Some that had been set up didn't have their details on them and some even moved from the area where I first found them to another area that I searched later on meaning that I could have found way more eggs had they all been where they were meant to be in the first place. Very annoying.
Lessons learned: Don't get involved straight away - wait at least 2-3 days for the organisers to sort themselves out first. Although really it would be better that if they do this again they actually sort it out so that everything is ready to go on the first day. Then all they have to do on the actual day is reveal the actual plaques rather than do everything from scratch (I am assuming based on the issues I had) on the first few days.
Anyway - rant over and done with - would definitely try again if it happens and fingers crossed that the Jubilee egg is on its way to me soon!
