Share your explorer name and what you see here and then contact us to collect your points.

This lookout was built for the coastguard after the Thistlemoore steamer sank within sight in 1909. More than 20 people died in the tragedy. It was then used during the two world wars to look out for potential invaders.

Keep watch for a while. What dangers can you see? What, who or where needs to be looked over and protected now?

BONUS QUESTION

How far is it to Baggy Point? (Tip: Enter the answer as it appears in the lookout)
It's a fairly steep walk to the lookout. Take your time and look out for slippery stones and things you could trip over.

Risk overall: Medium. Keep your wits about you, anything could happen.
