Dartmouth & Kingswear - River Dart Estuary

The Quest for the Lost Maritime Military Munitions!

Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Ivor Bigship, is bubbling with excitement. After a long day of searching through records, he stumbled upon a worn-out map in the archives of Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. Rumour has it that the map holds the key to the whereabouts of a massive cache of weapons and ammunition, long lost at sea. These munitions were captured by Sir Bigship's ancestors during the Battle of the Little Bigguns off the South Devon Coast in 1763, and he has dedicated his life to finding them. And now, his dream is within his grasp! But, there's one problem - Sir Ivor isn't much of an explorer, and he doesn't like to spend too much time on dry land. So, he has requested the help of the Exploration Society, and we are entrusting our TOP Adventurers (that's YOU!) with cracking the clues scattered across Dartmouth and Kingswear. Can you uncover the location of the lost maritime military munitions?
