The Cottingham Treasure Hunt - Can YOU Find the Buried Treasure Before the CATHS Do?

A strange thing happened to local truffle hunter and eccentric, fun guy, Doug Themup, whilst he was out walking in the local woods with his trained pig, Snout. Snout wandered off the beaten track, sniffed at the ground and started to dig. Not only did the digging reveal a wonderful truffle, but also a small sealed casket. Doug opened the casket, and inside was a treasure map (there wasn't mush room for anything else). After some lengthy research by his friend Ivor Trowel, it has been concluded that the map was buried during the civil war. Unfortunately, the Cottingham Amateur Treasure Hunter Society (CATHS) have got to know about the map, and want to find the treasure themselves. So, Doug needs YOU, our greatest treasure hunters to help him find this treasure before the CATHS locate it. Are you up to the task? If you are, Good Luck Explorers!
