They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

East Grinstead

The town of East Grinstead is a unique location, as it is where the Greenwich Meridian meets. Standing at the right spot, you can have one foot in the east and one in the west! But something even more extraordinary happened here when a large chunk of sandstone was quarried to mark the location of the Meridian line. The ancient remains of a long-forgotten dinosaur were unearthed, but they mysteriously vanished within a day of their discovery! Now, world-famous archaeologist Professor Den Bones needs YOUR help to track down the valuable bones. Are YOU up for the challenge, Adventurers?
