Nomad's Treasure Hunt #2

 WHERE IS THE TREASURE ?

A somewhat more involved Treasure Hunt this week:

Here are the instructions:

• There are nine clues
• For each Clue you need to retain the first letter of the answer (for example if a clue landed you at a West Cardinal Mark your letter would be W)
• If the clue ends up with a number use the written number i.e depth of 7 would be S
• You will end up with 9 letters and this is a two word anagram of a location on RYA Chart 3

 

Good luck and more importantly – ENJOY
