Hop over a line at an olde-worlde Toad Wood to 25 cowls.
Head for the poles, and when you’re one over the eight try walking a straight
line. |
| Leads to |
Whitbread Hop Farm –

| Clue 4 |
Here’s a Teiser: St Paul’s railings should help you forge

(on the River Teise) – in tree root by abbey wall |
| Clue 5 |
Listen to the sound the poet heard on Innisfree, and fall for
the fellow who’s got a rosy half-century under way. |

Bewl Water –
Anneka has to jump into the water to retrieve the treasure (a scarf) from a wind-surfer (number 50) |
| Result |
The contestants won the treasure with 35 seconds to spare |
| Notes |
| 1 |
Wincey forgot to reveal the hint to the treasure before the
clock was started. She revealed it just before clue 4. |
| 2 |
After climbing the rock-face the hard way to reach the top,
Anneka is frustrated when she is shown the steps up, which she could have taken
instead of the climb! |
| 3 |
The landing place, run and clue location were almost identical to Clue 3 of the 2002
West Kent episode. |
