About the Story

Robyn and his men were in their favourite Inn, full of venison and mead, enjoying each other's company when in burst Much, the Miller's son, hot and breathless from a hard run.

"Robyn," he said as he fell on to a bench. "Marion has been taken captive and locked in Notyingham Castle."

Robyn knew the dangers for a man travelling alone in 250 square miles of forest. He knew also the dangers involved in entering Notyingham, but also he knew that one man could possibly outwit the Sherryffe better than a group could.

Could YOU be Robyn Hode for a day? A week? However long it takes you to explore over 400 locations? To get to Notyingham Castle means a trek through two forests: Bernesdale and Scherwode, numerous villages and towns and facing the dangers of both. Then, when Notyingham is reached you must face a perilous journey through the town and then through Notyingham's famous caves to the castle - and then to find Maid Marion and escape.

All the place spellings and names are taken from the earliest recorded ballads of Robyn Hode and the extent of Scherwode Forest has been worked out by studying geological maps of the county of Notyinghamshire and old manuscripts.
