Olivia is the first to find Aurigny’s golden ticket
TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Olivia Harrison is the first to have tracked down one of Aurigny’s ‘golden tickets’ following a treasure hunt at Castle Cornet.
Olivia and her family managed to find the golden ticket on Saturday afternoon.
It was the first of five golden tickets that will be hidden in different locations around the Bailiwick this summer, each containing a pair of return flight tickets on Aurigny.
Cryptic clues initially led people to Castle Cornet.
When they reached the castle, an Aurigny team handed out a treasure trail with six challenges to solve.
At 3pm, all the teams who completed the challenges were given one final clue, ‘Up high but in the dark’.
Olivia searched in a high crevice in the wall of Prisoners’ Walk, where she discovered the ticket.
‘It was a bit of fun and we thought of it as family time,’ she said. ‘It was under an arch in a small gap wedged between two rocks. It was good fun – and tiring.’
Olivia said she was planning to use the two tickets to go shopping in the UK, probably with her mother.
The airline will now be teaming up with the North Show, West Show and Alderney Week to hide three of the other Golden Tickets in mystery locations during these major summer events.
The golden tickets are the latest in a series of community events and competitions being held this year to celebrate Aurigny’s 50th anniversary.
