Navigating The Route
This is a circular spy mission through Amersham’s historic Old Town, memorial areas, woodland edges and open fields, with agents following pavements, unmade roads and grassy paths as they work to stop Ivana Lott’s soggy scheme.
The route includes some uphill walking (notably up Rectory Hill), uneven terrain, grassy paths and unmade tracks, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Important: Parts of the mission involve crossing or walking alongside roads, and there are also sections with muddy or slippery ground after rain, so agents should take care underfoot, stay alert near traffic and keep younger operatives under close supervision at all times.
Getting There
By Car: Amersham Old Town Pay & Display Car Park, off The Broadway (HP7 0UT) - Your undercover base and official mission starting point.
By public transport: Amersham is served by both rail and London Underground (Metropolitan Line) services, with Amersham Station located just over a mile from the Old Town. From the station, you can walk or take a short taxi ride down to the starting point.
Need the Loo?
Even elite agents need a quick comfort break!
Public toilets can be found in the Old Town Car Park near the start and end of your mission.
Bring Your Furry Sidekicks
Four-legged agents are welcome on this mission 🐾. With a mix of town streets, grassy paths and open areas, it’s a great outing for canine companions - just keep leads handy near roads, fields and livestock.
Food & Drink Stops
Agents, you’re well covered for supplies on this mission! You’ll pass a variety of cafés, restaurants and picturesque pubs as you explore the Old Town, making it easy to refuel mid-mission.
If the weather’s on your side, Rectory Hill (around Clues 06–07) is a brilliant picnic spot - perfect for reviewing your intel with a view.
