THE BLACKBURN HUNDRED QUEST 2023.
We have divided the hundred quests into 9 different areas, so hopefully it will be a bit easier to navigate. We’d prefer it if you could submit a few answers as you go along, so we can produce a progress chart, when you see us at the club room or on club rides, or using the contact details below
email to anne.s.stott@hotmail.co.uk or to anthony.stott@hotmail.co.uk
Please use the Ordnance Survey grid reference (OS GR) to arrive at the quest. It should besufficient to get you in the right area. Once there, you’ll need to have a look around to find your answer. Quest Questions can be found in the link:
!!update!! Unfortunately the info for Q58. CROSTON. OS 108 GR 488 186
