Just got word from a member on another forum who contacted the winners:
Location was indeed: BURTON DASSETT HILLS CO PARK
The keyword was FLORA. apparently from a holy well by the church there..
Still gonna wait for the solution to release as the keyword part makes no sense...
EDIT: Im wondering if FLORA has to do with the concept that we saw on #24. The girl in the picture is the May Queen. Flora is also the May Queen. So perhaps we were supposed to start under midnight sky (crouch hill), and apply the same concept to Burton Dasset

Well crap, Kris---it was us. Boy that stings. That almost makes me want to cry. And the keyword made perfect sense.

I think you should delete this out of respect to the author. Let him be the one to announce the correct response and how to arrive at the answer.

The keyword does make perfect sense. Boy this stings, and the full solution will make it clear exactly why. We submitted just hours too late!!
As they say, off by an inch, off by a mile. Congratulations to the winners.

A quick heads up that the solution pdf link is now posted on this forum.
Hi Stercox and forestblight, I'm sorry I didn't publicly announce I'd received a correct winning submission sooner, that must be rough - I do feel pretty bad about it. Definitely something for me to learn from in future hunts.
I took some time to verify the winners and your submission came in during that process, but maybe there's some solace in that the time difference was weeks rather than hours.
There were a handful of potential winners over the late summer, very strong solutions on the cusp of the correct answer, so you beat all of those if that's any consolation?
Ben.

Oh definitely nothing against you, Ben! We had loads of fun and fell in love with Banburyshire in the process. Thank you for posting the solution; reading it has been immensely validating. I hope this experience has inspired you to publish another one.
