The Mystery of Ernest's Fortune - A Self-Guided Treasure Hunt Ballater resident, Ena Pickle, is in urgent need of help. Her late husband, Ernest Pickle, was a huge fan of treasure hunts and did them all the time. Before he died, he thought it would be a great idea to hide all his wealth in a secret location and leave a map and series of Clues in his will so that his wife could find it. Sadly, however, although Ena Pickle shared her husband's passion for treasure hunts, she wasn't very good at them! Try as she may to locate and solve the Clues, she has failed miserably. With very little money left and a mountain of bills to pay, Ena is at her wit's end and needs help from the Exploration Society! Can you - our TOP Adventurers - help her track down her rightful inheritance before someone less scrupulous finds it and keeps it for themselves? We do hope you can!
