Below are the messages/hints that were displayed during the hunt:

11 March 2025
With the prize-giving coming up in two days' time, we've published the scoring spreadsheet on the results page. Remember to please email us if you're coming on Thursday. (From 18:13 at the Warwick Castle in Warwick Place, in case you had trouble sorting out the directions.)
21 February 2025
The results have been published. The prize-giving will take place in London on Thursday 13 March; follow the directions, either figuratively or literally, to get there. If you're coming, please email us so that we can give the pub approximate numbers.
01 January 2025
The setters wish you a Happy New Year.
25 December 2024
The setters are pleased to deliver a Christmas card to all their friends.
20 December 2024
Constructing the page maps was a painstaking exercise. We apologise that a few temporary markers (small black circles, and a W3W link at the foot of page 3) were left over from the construction work. They have no particular significance and may be ignored.
16 December 2024
In the light of extensive research carried out by participating teams, we'd like to tweak the wording of a couple of the questions:
211 becomes "What reached 207 feet in 1797, or even four years earlier?"
233 becomes "Who took (and put in his garden) the balustrade of the bridge?"
06 December 2024
The poster for ATH 2024 has been released.

In your travails over the coming month or so, remember that sometimes six multiplied by nine could equal 42.

The setters are keen to see how you get on with the Hunt. This will allow us to get a feel for what's proving difficult, so that we provide hints (to the whole Hunting community) where appropriate, as well as giving us pleasure as the puzzles are unpicked and wild geese are chased. If you're willing to let us observe your progress, please email athsetters2024@gmail.com so we can set up an eavesdrop.
