ECKINGTON. Explorer's Pack.

Arthur has been reading the Time Traveller’s Guide and he thinks he has discovered something big, something very big.  If he is right he will be able to tell everyone why there were two abbots in Pershore on that day in 1204. He also thinks he knows why they shared Pershore market but he has some questions that still need to be answered.  He and Gruff are on their way to Eckington to find answers but will he be able to recognise anything and how will he find his way around? They need your help.
