The Case of the Missing Sourdough Starter

Residents of Winchcombe were shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of local baker Roland 'Crusty' Rowles, who was found slumped over his bread mixer yesterday. On closer examination of the crime scene, Chief Inspector Iva Nyedeer noticed that Roland's sourdough starter - which had been passed down through the Rowles' generations - had been pinched! Chief Nyedeer needs help from a TOP Detective to crack this case while she conducts further investigations - that's where YOU come in! You'll need to use your loaf to follow the trail of breadcrumbs; can you figure out who cooked up this cruel crime and how? Crumbs - if that's the time you need to get going.

Before You Set Off

Please Note:

Whilst this Trail is child friendly, some of the clues are very close to a busy road.
