Water Palaver in Salcombe - Help Solve the Mystery!

Duncan Under, the local swimming attendant in Salcombe, has been found floating in Batson Creek… and not in a good way! It's not known if his demise was due to foul play, but he had been busy organizing a swimming race between the Salcombe Swimmers and the North Devon Dippers. The local police are floating the idea that the two may be connected. They have put together a list of suspects, but they need outsiders to help solve the mystery. Chief Inspector Anya Marks needs top detectives (YOU!) to submerge themselves into these inquiries and solve the case. She has a sinking feeling about this one - so buoy her up by dampening someone's day!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

You'll mainly be patrolling along pavements and paths on even ground, although there are a few hills and narrow stretches to navigate, which means this Trail is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
