You get given a page of clues, a map and a blue biro. Then off you go, at the rate of clappers, rummaging around East London for galleries that you have perhaps never heard of before (even though you thought you were pretty Art College and may or may not wear Art College looking glasses).
Once you decipher a clue, you make haste to the relevant gallery. There you find a symbol which you jot down on your answer page in order to win glory and prizes, but mainly glory.
We started off magnificently, Competitive Lucy made an early appearance and at one point we had victory by the balls. But then it all went a bit wrong, half way through we found ourselves on Great Eastern Street when we should have been on Columbia Road. A mistake had been made. Having just come from Columbia road we decided it best to regroup over a restorative glass of wine. I'm ashamed to say that was definitively the end of that, never making it any further than Hoxton Bar and Grill.
Defeat aside, it was a wonderful thing to do and next year I will have my comfortable footwear and look of determination at the ready. Maybe a clutch purse of dirty tactics too.
