A trail of clues awaits in
Northern Chase
Chaos has erupted in Cannock Chase as a sneaky kestrel has been causing trouble by stealing shiny items from local residents and visitors. But while they squabble amongst themselves, the rogue feathered friend is making off with their treasures and trinkets! Lucky for us, local birdwatcher Burt Spotter has been keeping track of the kestrel's movements and has created a map with all the spots it's been spotted. But there's a catch - Burt has hidden the map locations within a series of riddles! We need the help of our top treasure hunters to solve this puzzle and retrieve the stolen loot!

them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from
the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
