Stage 4, Where Is It?


Having ventured out into the Beast's territory recently, we have found that he has cunningly moved his lair. To get the final location, take the solution you got at The Den and add 0.004 to the Northings, and 0.008 to the Eastings. The way is guarded by vicious thorns and nettles so be prepared. Only the truly valiant will succeed
