In this quest you are racing against the imminent arrival of the Paddle Steamer, bringing with it a rather straight-laced Aunt.
See if you can enjoy some of the many delights that there were on offer for the Victorian holidaymaker at this highly popular sea resort and still make it to your Bathing Hut in good time to enjoy a rejuvenating dip just as you like it.
Telescopes are optional!

Die Mission: Deine Geschichte in Margate
However, you hear from a cousin that your Aunt has already boarded a Paddle Steamer and is on her way. She has been scandalised by the reports of "promiscuous" (or mixed gender bathing) and men without bathing suits that she's read in the Observer so she has come armed with much moral indignation and her best telescope.
Can you get get round the course and get your dip in the sea before she arrives?
