Help Hunt for Haughty Heidi's Hidden Hoard!
Oh, what a calamity… Heidi Taway, the smug treasure hunter, has found herself in a right soggy situation! She would often boast about being so clever for burying her lifetime's stash in the Gwash valley, out of reach of other fortune seekers. Well, she had a point as the valley was later flooded thus submerging her treasures deep underwater! Even though Heidi insists she's an expert diver, she failed her Grade 1 swimming certificate. She has drawn what she claims is the 'greatest treasure map known to mankind' though, along with a series of clues revealing the saturated spot. Intrepid Explorer Society (IES) have now got their hands on the latest diving gear, making these goodies recoverable. With their dive team on standby, IES need YOU to work out where Heidi's waterlogged wealth was concealed.

Please Note:
If you decide to use your bicycle to complete this Trail, it does mean you will need to cycle the entire route between and around the villages, which means you will be encountering busy roads along the way. You will also need to be prepared for the return trip from Normanton back to Hambleton as well, so forward planning is therefore essential!
