History
The British Cycle Quest replaced the Touring Explorer's Award in about 2000. The need for a replacement came about because many of the sites to be visited no longer existed or else temporary clues had been found. Even now, there are issues with clue which may not necessarily be easily available. A list is given on the CTC website .
Even now, questions are revised and edited significantly on annual basis. For example, 2006 saw 13 edits, while 2004 saw as many as 21 edits . this high editing rate helps to ensure that all the clues exist, and helps overcome access issues which may arise when land changes ownership.
