A trail of clues awaits in

Stroud Valleys

Retired Major Larff and his faithful boxer, Trickie, are both slightly the worse for the passing of the years. Unfortunately, Trickie has taken to mistaking other similar shaped objects for her bone. When a couple of valuable candlesticks go missing, suspicion falls on the poor pooch. Luckily the Major's daughter, Avina, has kept a journal of Trickie's movements and recorded the dog's favourite sites on a map. Avina has sent the diary to us at the Exploration Society in the hope that we can discover the candlesticks and clear Trickie's name. This is where YOU come in! We need our most intrepid Explorer to solve the Clues in the diary and reveal the location of the buried trove. Are you up to the challenge?
