A lovely published article by Cadisha Brown has resulted in quite a few sales - thank you Kidderminster Shuttle!
She wrote on Thursday 29th July :> Follow the clues to find smugglers’ treasure
MURDER mystery, treasure hunt and spy trails can be explored in Wyre Forest to help beat summertime boredom.
Youngsters and their families looking for some outdoor fun can search for treasure on a two-hour treasure hunt trail in Stourport.
Their quest will be to search for gold and silver bullion that was stolen by smugglers from a royal barge heading down the canal to the River Severn in the 18th century.
They will be given a map with clues around the town leading to the treasure’s location.
In Kidderminster, wannabe detectives can try to solve the clues in a murder mystery trail.
The case involves a series of unsolved murders committed in the town, which have been reopened.
It starts and finishes in Weavers Wharf and those taking part have to help solve the clues and work out who did the murders and what weapon was used.
Meanwhile, the Bewdley spy trail starts in Gardeners Meadow car park, where youngsters have to help “agent Jane Pond” follow clues and find the deactivation code for a device planted by “Dr Horribly Bad”.
He plans to flood Worcestershire and has planted the device somewhere in the town.
The trails have been organised by Treasure Trails Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It was started by David and Amanda Ingham with the aim of getting local people and visitors to see and learn more about the area.
David said: “We all know that British summertime weather can be a bit unpredictable but walking, exploring and solving clues is just as much fun in the sunshine as in the rain.
“Treasure trails are a great activity for the whole family to complete together as children, parents and grandparents can all get involved in finding and solving our exciting, innovative and fun mysteries.”

Press Releases - Swashbuckling summer holiday ideas
Well, I've sent out the following press release to 7 newspapers in the Worcestershire area - wonder if any of them will print :)
Are you looking for a new way to keep the children entertained this summer? And on a budget? Herefordshire based Treasure Trails has the perfect solution. They have created nearly 30 treasure hunt adventures in local towns and villages which will give you a fun and exciting day out, without the theme park price tag.
As every parent knows, finding six weeks of activities to keep everybody in the family entertained can be a challenge and getting them to do something in the outdoors that is healthy and educational at the same time sounds too good to be true! For just £5 a Treasure Trail will engage the whole family in solving an intriguing mystery and will show you a multitude of fascinating, historical and unusual things about your town that you probably wouldn’t have otherwise seen.
The Trails are completed in your own time and are Treasure Hunt, Murder Mystery and Spy Mission themed walks. An easy to follow route will take you to the most beautiful and interesting places in that area and answers to the clues are located on existing monuments and buildings. Gary Lineker is just one of the growing host of fans, having had lots of fun with his then fiancée Danielle on a Treasure Trail around Armagh last year.
Dawn Thomas and her family recently completed a Treasure Trail and said ‘What a great idea! We saw so much more of the city than if we had just wandered around aimlessly. It was a great (and cheap!) way to get the family to visit somewhere new and have fun whilst learning a bit of history. Thanks, I’ll be buying more for our holiday in August.’
David and Amanda Ingham started Treasure Trails Herefordshire & Worcestershire in 2008 with the aim of getting local people and visitors to see and learn more about the area. David said ‘We all know that British summertime weather can be a bit unpredictable but walking, exploring and solving clues is just as much fun in the sunshine as in the rain! Treasure Trails are a great activity for the whole family to complete together as children, parents and grandparents can all get involved in finding and solving our exciting, innovative and fun mysteries.’
So if you are stuck for something to do this summer, whether at home or on holiday, for just £5 for your group a Treasure Trail will help the whole family explore and learn on an exciting adventure.

The Sunday Times
This is what the Sunday Times said this week as part of their 50 best summer days out article
20. Treasure trails, Norfolk
The brief is this: a flask of extremely powerful sleeping gas has been unearthed during construction work in Bircham. Unless the deactivation code is found, the toxin will be released, plunging the whole of Norfolk into a deep sleep. (Will anyone notice?) Your mission is to use your bike to find the clues and save the county. It’s terrific fun, and just one of hundreds of similarly offbeat adventures — on foot, by bike, in the car and even by boat — offered around the country by Treasure Trails (01872 263692, treasuretrails.co.uk). You pick your county, pick an adventure, pay a fiver and download the mission brief. Then, when you’ve completed the trail, you email the code word back to the company for the chance of winning up to a grand.

Twitter Press Release
I can't believe it really - I sent in a press release to the Hereford Times, way back at the beginning of March and it was printed at the end of April - just shows that they do keep things tucked away for when there is a space! Anyway, here it is!
