The Mystery of the Missing Silver Barge
We've stumbled across a worn diary that once belonged to Ida Solvit, one of the Exploration Society's founding members. During her youth, Ida often watched barges down to Bugsworth Canal Basin, transporting lime from the nearby kilns. On one occasion, she spotted a barge of pure silver pass by, smuggling the kilns by-product (a well-kept secret!) away from the greedy taxmen. The next day, rumours were circling that the barge had vanished! Eager for adventure, Ida decided to track the boat's movements to discover the hoard's location, recording many Clues and potential hiding spots within her diary. Sadly, she was unsuccessful and never found time to return as an adult. We need help from a TOP Adventurer - YOU! Can you follow Ida's Clues and finally find the lost loot?

Although this Trail is marked as pushchair friendly, some stretches may be a little tricky to negotiate, though as long as you are happy to carry a lighter pushchair for short stretches, it should be accessible.
