Team Groucho Marx.

Last night witnessed the birth of the Car Hide and Seek Championship: Summer Season 2009. And a highly organised affair it was too.

We met our rivals in the MFI car park at 10pm precisely, following a quick trip to ASDA for hide & seek supplies. There were five teams in total; Groucho Marx (Hannah, Jess, Grace), Arrogance (Gaz, Simon), P.S. I Love You (Paris, Sam), Loose Women (Emma, Emily, Nia) and Wild Cats/HSM (Catrin, Amber). Team Groucho Marx had comedy glasses and therefore were the undeniable best from the start. Even if they did say so themselves. The game itself was long beyond belief and we didn't go home until the early hours of the morning. In the meantime however, there were cryptic clues abound, a harrowing trip up Pydew Hill, a long wait at the Arc car wash, a 12p book of plots, clues and detectivcy, 2x run ins with the police (on Emma's part and thankfully not our own), an unbeatable code-hatching/ breaking streak, OSBOURNE HOUSE! and ultimately victory muffins back at the MFI car park. :)

The only downside to the whole thing is the fact that I completely overslept today and as a result missed my one opportunity of returning to Lit Headquarters this summer. Waking up at half past three when you are due in at twelve is not a pleasant feeling, at all.
