This hunt has me hooked, after solving one of the clues fairly fast I felt like I could smash this, I discovered some cool places I had never heard of and had a few aha moments...Then I got stumped!
I have honestly enjoyed and learnt more about English history from doing this hunt than I learnt at school!
But now I don't know what to do with the information I have or what to do next!
How is everyone else doing with this?

Still stuck on the final image! Keys and butterflies.. I have learned a lot as well. Found a place I'd like to visit next time I'm over there, actually  |

I have all the locations except #4, which is killing me. I don't think I can look at any more river shapes. I haven't looked at #6 much, there is some interesting coding going on there. Do you guys feel that the previous 5 locations are to be used in this puzzle or do you think that this 6th puzzle is a stand alone? Given the 5 keys hanging, I vote for the former.

I believe I have all 5 locations and have tried every which way to incorporate them and their keys (when present) from past images, but in all my attempts, I haven't been able to find a way that gets me anywhere. I'm wondering if they are representative of '5 letters', one for each key, which then turns into a 'key word' for some other type of cipher. If so, I might have the 5 letters that do spell a very particular word but I have no idea what to do with the rest of what remains in that image after that. I do feel it's definitely a different type of deduction/interpretation of images compared to the first 5 images. Seems like a totally different thought process. |

I get that! The smaller keys by the bundle of letters would definitely hint to that. But there is some polybius business going on, or some other grid cipher hinted at. Not sure how that will all fit together. But it's interesting that a quick solve exists to confirm your suspicion.

Definitely agree about the grid cipher. Been working on that but nothing solid yet. I'm not great with recognizing ciphers/parts to a cipher. Maybe you'll have better luck when you get there

haha! Maybe....but that means looking at a lot more rivers....blah! I'll let ya now when I do! LOL
