The BBC Radio Norfolk Treasure Quest programme was out and about the county earlier today. The clues took the 'runner' Julie Reinger and 'pilot' Anna Perrott all around South Norfolk before leading them to the windmill in Old Buckenham at around 11.30am.
They had worked out that the treasure envelope would be somewhere among the five millstones so they climbed up via the wooden ladders to the second floor. The clue was soon discovered and Julie had the chance to hear something about the history of the mill from Pete Twissell.
If you would like to listen to the programme you will find it at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05zj0qp for the next four weeks. The local part starts about two and a half hours in.
The blog editor was there to take a few photos. It really was cold in there today.
If you have never been inside the mill it will first open to the public this year on Sunday 8 April from 2pm to 5pm and then at the same time on the second Sunday of the month up until September.
And if you have ever wondered what the treasure in the brown envelope looked like...
