OK me again folks. Nature Trail, number 8 should be (9,3) not (10,3), but as Scurra will no doubt testify, I am actually unable to count. Thanks LAT.

It's more to do with something I put on the DVP forum not long after you descended on Bletchley Park. It was rather enigmatic.

Was rather enigmatic?

Methinks it still is.

I will be posting a formal announcement soon. But in the meantime, this is a work in progress...

Those of you who missed Bunnylump's puzzles (because you weren't at the meet - shame on you!) and those of you who didn't but would like to check your answers:

http://www.puzzlebrains.co.uk/index.php ... 1&catid=53

Not all of the puzzles are yet posted (and some don't even have pages yet, and nor does the Meta puzzle.)

But hopefully the ones that are there all work.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

All I did was put 282 instead of 281. And that stopped it from working. Can someone try it now to make sure it works this time! (It does for me.)

The link works for me too, but are you going to put them under "Other puzzles" so they are easy to find.

There are two still without links (I'm sure you knew). There are a few where the links work, but there are no puzzles posted on those pages (Paint it Black, Map Trail, Missing Links, What's In a Name?). I've put in the answer for What's In a Name? regardless of the missing puzzle, and the answer has been confirmed OK though.

Scurra, could I just say publicly (I've already spoken to him privately) how much I appreciate all the work which has gone into changing these into an on line format. I know it's taken you ages. Thank you. :D

Some of the puzzles may have additions at a future point (this won't affect the puzzles themselves, they're to do with the meta), but we'll let you all know when that happens. :D

These are not Scurra-standard puzzles (I'm a beginner) but I hope you enjoy them nevertheless. And do ask if stuck. If I'm not here (I'm doing a barbecue for rellies tonight for example) Cenwulf, Pebbles, SparkOut or Strep might be worth asking - they've all very kindly been test solving various puzzles for me. (Thank you all :D ).:D

Thanks Bunnylump (and Scurra for getting into format to put onto here) - It must have taken you quite some time to put these together - and looking forward to getting stuck in. I wouldnt even know where to begin in writing puzzles - so I'm full of admiration.

*Hollow Laughter* Don't forget little lady - we've seen your puzzles before :evil:

I've dived straight in with the answer to Runs and Piddles which was accepted {when I got the words in the right order :roll: } Spent a little time last night with the 'Keyboard' one.

And "Wheel of Fortune" at the same time :mrgreen: I really should do one set at a time :D
