We really enjoyed this questo! Things we liked: 1. A good walk around the city 2. The clues were clear & simple to solve 3. Directions were good Suggestions for improvement: Charles 1 was king from 1625. He was born in 1601. Step 4 - we suggest this wording "as you are facing the information board turn left and walk along the path, over the bridge to the Hive". The map markers to the clues at Fort Royal Park and St Martin's Gate are in the wrong places. Finally, the quest really needs to finish at King Charles House as it is from here he exits the city. Plus it's a good place to stop for a drink!!! It's an anti climax adding the next step.
