Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
This investigation will require you to patrol the streets, pavements and clear paths of Horncastle, searching for all of the vital evidence as you go. Your route is easy-going and fully accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. There is one set of small steps but these are easily diverted by using a nearby slope.
You'll never be too far from the town centre where there's plenty of sources of refreshment but your best opportunities are at the start and end of this investigation.
Public toilets are located along Lawrence Street opposite the suggested car park and not far from Market Place, where you will start and finish.
