The Mystery of the Missing Musician - Can YOU Find the Clues?
The peaceful town of Middleton in Teesdale has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of ex-miner and loud heavy metal drummer, Chris Ben-Wallop. After discovering the local lead mines had closed down, Chris took to drumming in his death metal band, Leadworks, much to the annoyance of the townsfolk. But when Chris built a device to block the council's decibel measuring meters, the town erupted in anger. Now, they've turned to Spy HQ for help in stopping Chris and his band. Are you ready to take on this noisy adventure and bring peace back to the town?

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route is not marked as friendly for pushchairs and wheelchair users due to some narrow pavements, hills, country lanes and a stretch along a riverside path.
Why not bring your four-legged friends along? Please note that around the town centre, dogs will need to be kept on leads.
There's a short stay car park at the Trail start point: Horsemarket Car Park (DL12 0SL). Alternatively, if this is full, you could always try parking on one of the quieter roads, or even along the main road through town, (Town End). If you use any of these alternatives, you'll need to make your way to the junction by Horsemarket / Market Place / Bridge Street to then start your mission.
There are public toilets available close to the war memorial (close to the start point and Clue 19). The route passes a few pubs, cafes and several shops along the way. During the Trail, you'll be exploring along the edge of a river, so why not bring a picnic with you and soak up the ambience?
As it's an official "Walkers are Welcome" destination, why not extend your visit and experience The Tees Railway Path, Grassholme Reservoir or any of the Teesdale Challenge Walks? If you wish to bring bicycles along, there's always the Middleton Cycle Route nearby. Once finished in the town, nearby attractions such as the infamous Barnard Castle can help you to check that your eyesight is okay.
