Ahoy there, ye gentlemen o’fortune! Shiver me timbers! Avast ye,
ye lily-livered landlubbers, and be listenin’ to what I be sayin’,
an’ you’ll be gettin’ to hear o’ some rich booty...
By the powers! Are ye all loaded to the gunwales? Settle ye
down! There’s gold doubloons an’ pieces o’eight a-waitin’ for some
scurvy dog, me hearties. All ye have to be doin’ is takin’ this
‘ere Treasure Map, findin’ the X, then ye be repairin’ straight to
the treasure chest, only a league away!
I’d fetch it meself, but wi’ me wooden leg I’d be in Fiddler’s
Green afore I got there....!
Get me some grog in the Admiral Benbow when ye’re done – I be
wantin’ me share o’ the treasure, or ye’ll all be gallows meat! I
be makin’ sure every son of a biscuit-eater gets keelhauled if ye
don’t turn up!
...Aaar, Jim lad...I can't keep this going any longer...!
The treasure chest is a wooden(ish) box with brass trimmings,
and contains a number of nautical knick knacks plus a cache of gold
and silver coins, including dozens o'gold doubloons (well,
one)!
The intermediate cache - identified by a distinctive "X" on the
box - contains the "treasure map", or at least the co-ordinates for
the final location. Please leave in the box! The intermediate site
(the co-ordinates given above) is just outside the Admiral Benbow
Inn: in the film Jim hands over the treasure map here.
The final cache is near to the treasure location in the film
(where else!).
It's about four and a half miles in a straight line to the
treasure from the Benbow: much longer (12.5 miles) but highly
recommended is the coastal path. If you don't want such a long
walk, there are buses from Castletown to Port Erin - or you could
drive, of course! The approach to the treasure is by an easy
surfaced path, and access is possible at any time. Don't get
ambushed!
Note that the path from Port Erin to the final cache is
closed. Approach from the Bradda Glen end (i.e. heading south
towards Port Erin from Bradda) and you should have no trouble with
the paths.
