Week One Clues:        

Time again, for exploring

Read all clues, no ignoring

Then get on outside

The medal now hides

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


Icy ground could cause slipping

And the temps keep on dipping

Most banks are steep

And snow is quite deep

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


In the distance you hear traffic flowing

Travelling east and west across the town

Where you’re standing only wind is blowing

Mother Nature makes the only sounds



Week two clues:

You see one…intersection

You can go two directions

Set out south or north

Just stay on the course

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


All around, fallen branches

Do you dare take your chances?

If you’re in a slough

You could slip right through

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


Week three clues:


Look around at the chaos

Down below, you could get lost

A shipwreck of trees

Left there to freeze

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


You decide—should you go there…

Or stay up where the path’s bare?

Just forge on ahead

Let’s put it to bed

In this Sleigh and Cutter wonderland


In the gully you see mass uprooting

Caused, no doubt, by movement of the ground

If you go there, you could lose your footing

Only worth it if the prize is found
