Starts and finishes at Cowper station where the Watches are given a map & book which contains clues to the names of the stations they need to visit. Each station will have a number of questions relating to the area. Some will have manned bases they need to find to complete a task. The points for each station vary, so they need to work out how the gain as many points as possible within the time given.
On the day you will need:.
– a 1 day Luas flexi ticket or your leap card if you have one.
