- Oct 30
- 2 min read
What if your next Yorkshire drive became a quest built for explorers? That’s exactly what VENARI, Venture Bound’s Yorkshire Quest, delivers. From the quaint village of Darley to the charm of Burnsall, this isn’t just a route — it’s a treasure hunt rolled into a scenic drive, it's VENARI, Yorkshire's Driving Quest - Quest Drive.
What is VENARI?
“Venari” means to hunt. In this Quest Drive, every twist and turn becomes an opportunity to observe, think, and score. You and your crew (2 to 5 per car) will use the Quest Drive App to follow directions, face quiz questions tied to the landscape, and collect points for navigation accuracy, observation, and speed of correct responses. It’s not about racing — it’s about seeing what others miss.
The Route: Darley → Burnsall
Starting point: The Wellington Inn, Darley — the perfect launch for your quest.
Duration: Approximately 1h 30m to 2h, depending on how many clues you crack and how many stops you make.
Crew size: 2–5 per car — ideal for sharing roles (navigator, clue-spotter, timekeeper).
What you’ll encounter:
• Narrow country lanes where attention counts
• Uplands and higher terrain with the possibility of snow or ice
• Scenic Pennine views, local landmarks, hidden gems
• Spots where quiz questions tie directly into what’s around you
Finish line: The Red Lion Inn, Burnsall — a welcome place to rest, reflect, and compare scores.
Why VENARI Stands Out
🏔 Dramatic elevation & views: High sections that reward care with scenery.
🧩 Puzzle integration: Quiz questions make you look harder, not drive harder.
⏰ Flexible timing: You decide when to run it—daylight helps, but you own the timing.
🏆 Leaderboard excitement: Clarity, insight, and correctness push you up the rankings.
🍻 Pub reward: Finish at Burnsall’s Red Lion Inn — a fitting place to celebrate your quest.
Raise the Stakes: Inter-Club Challenge
If your crew sends four or more cars, VENARI can be part of the Quest Drive Inter-Club Challenge. That means your club competes nationally, not just on Yorkshire roads, for points and prestige. Inter-Club Challenge treasure hunt Tour Challenge | Venture Bound

Tips to Master VENARI
Mind the weather & elevation — snow, ice, fog can turn the road into a test
Stay sharp on narrow stretches — slow is safer, sharp observation wins
Divide responsibilities — someone drives, someone watches clues, someone maps
Don’t rush stops — sometimes pausing to look yields the clue you missed
Be ready for terrain shift — from moor to dale, the landscape gives hints
Final Thoughts
VENARI isn’t just about getting from Darley to Burnsall — it’s about reading the road, solving what’s hidden, and competing with both your crew and others across the UK.
So strap in, lean in, and let the clues guide you through Yorkshire’s lanes.
The roads are waiting. The clues are set. Will you hunt them down?
