Too many musical theatre shows and a twisted ankle meant not much running in March - so I'm a bit late with this March's treasure hunt. But here we go with number 26...
1. A hero
Captain Sir William Peel - son of Sir Robert Peel (former PM and founder of the modern police force). Commemorated in a mosaic on the wall of a school in Sandy. Just opposite the pub that also bears in name. Awarded a VC for various heroic deeds.
2. A grave
Lots to choose from in Brookwood cemetery. Taken during an early morning run while visiting older daughter in Guildford. Rubbish photo - but I was stretching to take it over a wall.
3. Non--human footprint
The cows seem to have moooved out of this field for now, but they have left some footprints behind.
4. Detective
Lots of detectives in here if you're a 90s TV fan.
5. The largest number you can find outdoors (no gaps, as in phone numbers)
Best I could do - from some kind of utility monitoring thing.
6. No one else will have a photograph like this
As it has me in it...
7. New life
Daffodils in Fisher's Hill woods near Woking - taken on the same run as the grave.
8. A Star
Climbing frame in someone's back garden poking over the fence and just catching the late afternoon sun.
9. Three consecutive letters (e.g. PQR)
R-S-T - reading right to left.
10. Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Jaguar on a car bonnet in Bedford.
Thanks for an interesting set of clues Chrisity.
