The Mysterious Disappearance of "Spratman" John Hooper
Once a notorious local smuggler, "Spratman" John Hooper was found lifeless at the end of Looe's Banjo Pier. As the great, great grandson of the infamous Amram Hooper, John had followed in his ancestor's footsteps, illegally smuggling tons of delicious fish from Looe to Devon. But after serving seven years in Bodmin Jail, John was released last week and was eager to resume his illicit activities. However, his plans were cut short when he was found dead, and rumours of rival gang leaders and a secret assassin began to circulate.

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Looe (Logh), there are a few things you need to know...
The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note though that the beach encountered on the Trail is not dog-friendly, and there are some narrow and busy streets included along the route, so we recommended keeping dogs on leads.
The town does occasionally flood during times of bad weather / storms and high spring tides, which may mean the route becomes impassable. Please check tide times before travelling. Your case will see you patrolling part of a busy working fishing harbour and along some stretches next to open, unfenced water and steep drops, so please monitor your whole squad carefully.
The closest long-stay pay and display car park is at the Trail start point, Millpool Car Park (PL13 2AF).
There are public toilets available at the beginning, middle, and end of the Trail. Some of these are pay to enter (bring some coins - or pay by card). The route passes several pubs, shops and cafes along the way, or why not opt for a picnic on the beach toward the middle of the Trail?
There are some fantastic events in Looe's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. We recommend checking for events before you set off on your investigation.
