Notes
1	This starting point is the same location that was used as Clue 3 in the 1987 Kent episode. However it is referred to by a later name.
2	‘Ely duet’ is an anagram of ‘Tudeley’. Adam and Eve are depicted on the stained glass window by the font. Baskerville and Garamond are names of fonts or typefaces used in the printing industry.
3	Suzi crosses the river on the barge ‘Enchanted Lady’, meets falconer Eddie Hare, dons a glove and calls Max the eagle from a tree.
4	The landing place, run and clue location were almost identical to Clue 2 of the 1987 Kent episode.
5	The River Eden passes near Hever Castle, home of Anne Boleyn who had six fingers.
