Night Hike
Our mysterynight hike on a spy theme, started in town at Penrose Wharf and continued to Kent Railway station where our “spies” met an agent who told them to board the train to Cobh. While on the train the spies has a message to decode, which told them to disembark at Carrigaloe instead of Cobh. At Carrigaloe station another agent gave a compass bearing for our spies to follow, which brought them to the cross river ferry, where they had to wait for a signal. A Morse code message was flashed across the river which old spies then has to decode the message. After boarding the ferry, they met another agent in Glenbrook. After decoding this message it told them to hiketo Monsktown Pier on foot to disarm a bomb. At the Pier a final agent gave them a grid which helped them figure out the abort code for the bomb from the clues they gathered during the night. All clanns managed to decode the bomb on time.
