YOUR MISSION
The evil cyber-smuggler Dr. Stock Von Net has invented a teleportation device which makes valuables mysteriously vanish and then reappear on his on-line shopping website. Locals and tourists alike are finding their MP3 players, phones and cameras disappearing before their very eyes. The teleporter has been located but needs a code to deactivate it. Can you solve the clues and get the code before you become the next victim?
Scarborough Harbour & Castle
Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire Coast. Whilst there is evidence of settlements in the Stone Age and Bronze Age as well in Roman times, the name Scarborough was first used by the Vikings around 966 AD. Since then the old town has grown up around the castle and harbour and this Trail takes explorers around the harbour and seafront area of South Bay before going up through the old town to the castle area where you can see many of the original 12th, 13th and 14th century buildings which remain despite several sieges throughout the ages. The old town also offers magnificent coastal views and is well worth exploring.
