• Norwich Alleycat: Fast & Furious Navigational Challenge

    When: Sunday 1st of February 2015

    Where: The Forum, Millennium Plain, Norwich.

    Time: 12 o'clock midday.

    Estimated distance: 20-25km against the clock.

    Finish point: Norwich Playhouse bar.

    Cost £1 per Entrant.

    This Norwich Alleycat is a navigational challenge only, with no clues to solve, no tasks to complete, just the unmanned checkpoints to pass through.

    You will be given a sheet with the unmanned checkpoint locations, and you will then have to plan and cycle your chosen route.

  • We're in, I think there's a few others up for this, too.

  • I am sorry people, I have to close Norwich AlleyCat. Basically Norwich AlleyCat has been reported to the police for organising illegal bicycle races on the roads. Even though I argued that we have no set route, and this has to be planned and then ridden by the individual participant (note that I clearly did not say competitor) on the day, and it is therefore not linear, so it cannot be a race. However, we do have a start point and finish point and that is their argument.

    The really sad thing about this situation is that it must have been someone on the Norwich cycling scene who has reported Norwich AlleyCat to the Police.

    I am really sorry folks, but Norwich AlleyCat is now cancelled for the foreseeable future............. However, never forget that we were the best AlleyCat in the world!

  • So shitty. :(

  • A treasure hunt on your bicycle in and around the beautiful and historic city of Norwich.

    When: Sunday 20th of September 2015.
    Where: St George's Green (opposite the Norwich Playhouse).
    Time: 11.45am for a 12.00 Midday start.
    Duration: approx 90 minutes for an average pleasure cyclist.
    Format: 10 clues to solve, 8 unmanned checkpoints to pass through, and 2 photo tasks to complete.
    Finish: Norwich Playhouse bar, with a café social afterwards.
    Cost £1 per entrant to help cover my costs. You will need a pen or a pencil, a digital camera or camera phone.
    A map or an A2Z of Norwich may come in handy, so will a sense of direction, knowing your right from left, and having a sense of humour may also help.
    This Norwich AlleyCat will also include an OPTIONAL additional Fast and Furious navigational challenge. The format is unmanned checkpoints only: No clues, just locations. Entrants for this optional section must first complete the treasure hunt section to qualify for entry into the Fast & Furious Navigational challenge.
    Cost £1 per entrant to help cover my costs. (Optional) Official Norwich AlleyCat timers are available to hire for the duration at £1 each: so that entrants may record their individual/pair/team time if they so wish.
