7 January 2017: BKO team tackle the 'Peach Quest' on Radio Berkshire

A BKO team today took up the challenge of the 'Peach Quest' on BBC Radio Berkshire from 8.00-11.00. The team of Fiona Clough, Denise Harper and Brian Burt faced a series of cryptic clues. These were used to direct the BBC reporter to the location of the next clue with 4 in total to be solved.  It was a great effort by our team but they just failed to reach the end of the Quest in time. However, it was good publicity for the club and orienteering in general. Well done 'Berkshire Orients'!
