A trail of clues awaits in

Fakenham

Excitement has blown into Fakenham this morning. Local fisherman, Davish Arniblin, has reeled in a rare old catch from the River Wensum - a treasure map in a bottle! The map shows what appears to be a previously unknown tidal island off the coast of Norfolk. After a close inspection of the worn map, and the scrawled notes on the back of the document, East Anglian historians believe that the map may hold the key to a hoard of gold, stashed away by smugglers centuries ago!

Although he's a great fisherman, Davish is no adventurer! So, the Exploration Society has been tasked with finding the trove. We need you - our TOP treasure seekers - to follow the Clues and pinpoint the spot where the gold is buried. Good luck!
