We've got a mission for you in
View from Carn Brea
Inspired by the local legend of giant Bolster who could bridge the six-mile gap between Carn Brea and St. Agnes Beacon in one stride, local inventor Bill Dabigrobot has created a 100ft 'Bolsterman Engine' that is wowing massive crowds at local exhibitions. However, we've received worrying intel that the evil mastermind Dr Madden Badd has hacked into the giant's coding. He is threatening to use the ill-gotten glittering giant to target and trample all local pasty bakeries! We can't let that happen! We need help from TOP Agents to subtly scout out the area, solve the vital Clues and reveal the code that will block the twisted genius' signals to the machine. Can YOU crack the code and save every pasty shop within the view from Carn Brea?! Good luck.

the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
