The Barmy Bridge Breakout - Will You Save the Day?

Attention all agents! The infamous Brigade of Rebel Army of Trained Spies (BRATS) has infiltrated North Devon and is plotting to cause chaos in the local towns. The deranged entomologist, Dr. Mike Robe, has joined forces with the BRATS and has placed millions of specially-bred rock-boring weevils in devices hidden throughout the area. Their first target? Bideford Bridge! If they succeed, it will be dangerous for any cars to cross, and they have their sights set on more bridges in Devon. We need your help to stop them!

Spy Mission from Barnstaple to Bideford

Join the ranks of top agents and embark on an exciting self-guided Spy Mission along the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple to Bideford. Starting at the train station in Barnstaple, you'll follow the trail along the estuary beside Appledore Shipyard and end at the old Bideford Station. Along the way, you'll encounter clues and challenges set by the BRATS, testing your skills as a secret agent.

Be prepared for anything-the BRATS will try to thwart your mission, but with your quick thinking and problem-solving abilities, you'll be able to decipher the clues and save the day before it's too late!

The fate of the town rests in your hands, Agent. Are you ready for the challenge?
