A trail of clues awaits in
Newcastle
Long ago, when Newcastle United was a force to be reckoned with, the legendary Toon player Wor Jackie Milburn discovered a recipe that brought the team success. Wor Jackie entrusted his friend, Ifor Getware, to safeguard the recipe by burying it on a secret island. But over the years, Ifor forgot the location and the story became a legend. Now, a map has been discovered that may lead to the recipe's whereabouts. But beware, supporters of a rival team also have a copy of the map. It's up to YOU, our most intrepid explorers, to solve the clues and find the recipe before anyone else does. Good luck!

More Information:
Please Note:
We believe that the Trail route is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, and for your dog to accompany you if you so wish. but you must note the following:
- There is one clue that involves four steps to go and inspect a column by a door. Whoever checks the column returns to the pavement.
- There are inclines to go up and a wheelchair user would need some assistance.
- The Trail is around a busy city centre so a dog must be kept on a lead.
