    TT2000 2025 mystery checkpoints

    There are a couple of tricky mystery checkpoints to find this time.

    Is anyone prepared to swap the location of Checkpoint 9 (which I need) for any of the others (which I have)?

    A PM will keep a secret!

    Some are very tricky to find. Two have been previous checkpoints, so those were easy to confirm. If you track down #9, let me know and we can do a deal!

    So these mystery checkpoints. Are they (or at least some of them) on the route that you will take for the "preplanned" halls?,ie you will pass them as you go from hall to hall? Some may well be on the route you will take to find the other halls? How the hell do you find them before hand?

    Ah, the million dollar question. The quick answer is yes, three of them are on the pre-planned route, one is just off that route by a few yards, but not easily noticed. Others are a long way off (as in, nowhere near!) and only will be found in advance. I've used a number of techniques; two I knew straight away are checkpoints from previous TT2000s, Google Lens gave me two more, and hours of Google Street View (hours!) and Satellite View provided more. There's never been 10 Mysteries before, and some of these are really obscure.

    I tried looking for a database of halls but not much luck. I have found some really obscure stuff with google lens but i just never thought of that to find a community hall.Street view yes but i cant even begin to recognise any of those mysteries

    And putting a bike in the front of the pic stuffs up Google lens. You get recognition of the bike not the background.

    Cunning.

    You can use AI to remove the bike and fill in the background. Newer Samsung phones can do this.

    Ask anyone who knows me if the terms "AI" or "cellphone" mean anything in my life.

    Just as well I'm not riding the TT2000 isn't it.

    Number 9 is tough

    This is the only Mystery Checkpoint that I have left to find. Seems like it is the one that everyone is stuck on. Like others Ive searched data bases for halls to no avail & spent hours upon hours on google maps much to amusement of my family!!
    Someone must know where it is!
    Curses upon but also well done to the organisers!!
