London Transport Museum Scavenger Hunt 6th July 2008

London Transport Museum is a group administrator London Transport Museum  Pro User  says:

London Transport Museum is hosting a Flickr scavenger hunt on Sunday 6th July in Covent Garden as part of the events for the London Festival of Architecture 2008. Focusing on the transport network’s quirky design features, in a race against time teams of photographers will have to unlock a series of cryptic clues in order to snap roundels, station murals and much more. Have you got what it takes to get all the shots and make it back to the Museum? Prizes for the first team back (with the most correct answers) and the best picture uploaded on Flickr. If you want to get involved sign up here.
make sure you've signed up by 1st July as teams will be annouced on 2nd July.

Aw that's a shame it's limited.
Myself and a few friends might have been interested.
Any chance of picking up a form after the event and having a go out side of the competition ?
