hello
i am a new member just writing to let you know i found november 2 of 4 free isis yesterday :D
it was at the westonbirt arboretum in the section called silkwoods in a palmatum maple tree- hence "you will have it your palm in no tum" near a seat dedicated to sandra cliffe and the seat was numbered 105- hence "find the 105 grains of sand above the cliffe" :wink:
just got into this a week ago and will probably try and find some more because frankly the hunt is just as fun as the isis :D

Wow, congratulations!

Random question... how did you get to Westonbirt Arboretum? I see where the rest of it came from!

it was hard to locate any silkwood at the start but then i put silkwood into google images and found one mention from the forestry commision. so i went to their website and found the arboretum with its silkwood. :D

congrats! I was looking into this, only really goto the stage of silkwood - never really got much further, in fact i was totally convinced it was on the 105 bus route somewhere that had silkwood trees. I need practise at this!

not only is the quest for the isis addictive,
avarice seems to have accelerated among the members for quantity!! :shock:

yep, Ive been biting my tongue on that score for a few weeks now.
Personally speaking, I think its greedy to recover more than 1 free isis. I agreed with my wife and son that if we found both Williamson park free isis we would only take one. And I made a concerted effort not to look for the one at the Wensleydale railway.

I agree that the thrill of the hunt is overwhelming and to find the item is an excellent feeling, but there arent many free isis out there, relatively speaking, so I think if you've found one, let the others have a go.

Obviously thats just my feeling on the subject. :wink:
