Known as the Celebrated Pedestrian, Captain Barclay was a lover of walking and once completed the incredible feat of walking 1000 miles in 1000 hours for a wager of 1000 guineas. But that's not all - rumour has it that he also hid something valuable on a previously unknown island in the North Sea, and it's up to YOU to find it!
