The Smugglers' Scrumptious Secret Stash!

James Wilkinson, a well-known local smuggler, has once again eluded the Customs men. After successfully running the very best Belgian chocolates into West Sussex, Wilkinson and his cronies have gone into hiding. Captain John Butler of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise (HMCE) is on the case, but with illicit French brandy pouring into East Sussex, the finest Portuguese olive oil being smuggled into Kent, and copious quantities of Spanish chorizo sausage being snuck into Hampshire, he and his officers are struggling to keep up. Will you help Captain Butler and his team solve the clues to find the location of the smugglers' secret cache of creamy Belgian chocolate before the weather turns hot and turns it into a molten, chocolatey mess? The fate of the chocolate is in your hands!
