Treasure Hunt !

[Riddler]

Hey, folks ! It took a while but we did it. :D Ang & myself & one other conspirator (who must remain a mystery for now) have put together a Treasure Hunt. In case you didn't see the first one I posted, the rules are simple; Use the clues provided to navigate around in cyberspace until you find the treasure. It's a lot more fun if you don't take a shortcut to the last clue and figure it out from there....but that's your call I suppose. ;) Keep track of where each clue leads you by coming back here and sharing your results with the rest of the players....it's a team effort. :D
Here we go....good luck and have fun !

In the original recipe for Alphabet Flicks
For which fr600 supplied the main potion
A Monkeee's ingredient is your first clue ( hint.....it's Monkeee's 2nd reply )
To set this archaeological hunt in motion.

Three dubbyas and a com is what you'll need now
But what shall we stick in the middle ?
Underneath ? On the surface ? Where is it now ?
I won't Con you, it's not my best riddle.

I bet a refreshment right now would be nice
Something to go with o.j. or tonic perhaps ?
Here's an idea...why don't we visit
The land where they make it from scratch ?

Oh no ! They want to offer us all jobs !
But we just wanted a tour of the place
Well, we must decline and take the next offer in line
We've got a treasure to chase !

It looks like we've got quite a choice to make now
Where to go next, what country or state ?
Well, just click on the land that carries this flag.............http://www.piczonline.com/client/riddler/where.gif
I'll be waiting for you down there, mate.

Now, I'm thinking of a sport...so click it won't you ?
Hmm, they don't seem to offer it there
Well, let's bring down that menu and choose the land
That is home to that ' Proclaiming ' pair

We're almost home now...can't you just smell the fields ?
No, I guess you have to go OUTDOORS to do that
Now type here the sport where a bow that is long
Slings arrows across the hills and the flats

Did you remember to include the land of the loch
In your search for this sport of old ?
If you did not you'd miss out on lucky 13
And the last section of this riddled road.

You must see by now where you're journey will end
That's right ! It's one of our very own !
Go forth to his page and click a certain picture within
Now grab your trophy and show it off here at home !

Oh btw, if you need a hint or two along the way, just ask. :)

[callum]

Is this the treasure?

[Riddler]

:D That&#39;d be Mr. & Mrs. McBrien&#39;s little treasure fer sure. ;)

But no callum, sorry. :P

[UKMan]

Is the first clue to do with Paddington?

[Riddler]

Hey &#33; We have a contestant &#33; I was starting to worry that the clues were too tough. :D
No UKMan, but I think I&#39;ll give this a little push to get the ball rolling....the clue to the first website you have to visit is found in Movieworld. The original Movie Quiz A to Z ( it&#39;s probably about 4 or 5 pages back by now ) ;)

[ang3968]

actually BOT has put a link to it on the first page of the second Movie Quizz.... helpfull BOT aint he... :D

Does each clue kinda lead to the next, or are the totally seperate?

I mean, is Indianna Jones connected in some way with the next clue?

would you like a recap??

this is how Ridds and I worked it out...

from the Scotland site .... http://www.scotland.com/



We&#39;re almost home now...can&#39;t you just smell the fields ?
No, I guess you have to go OUTDOORS to do that
Now type here the sport where a bow that is long
Slings arrows across the hills and the flats

click on the word "outdoors" under Scotland Leisure
then type in "Longbow Scotland"


Did you remember to include the land of the loch
In your search for this sport of old ?
If you did not you&#39;d miss out on lucky 13
And the last section of this riddled road

the 13th link will take you to...
http://www.mcbriens.net/

then onto Liams site.... then the trophy was hidden under a picture......
