An exciting interactive activity which involves hunting for all the elements required to build a torch and putting them together before dark. It will involve reading clue cards with grid references in order to find the parts. Once the parts have been found, participants will return to the starting point where they will work together to assemble the torches before night falla.

The event is aimed at young families and incorporates aspects of technology, sustainability, communication, co-operation and basic orienteering.

The hunt will start after Oceanallover's performance at 5pm from the McMoab rocks There will be a break after the hunt and particiapnts will meet again at 6.00pm to assemble the torches so that it’s a race against time to find and assemble the torches before dark. Finally the group will use the torches to create various constellations which can be seen at that time of year such as the Plough or Pegasus.
