I too spent hours working it out and came to the same conclusion yesterday. I wasn't going to post that I had worked it out, not because I didn't want to share, but because I think that half the fun of this one is the working it out. Perhaps they have realised that they have made other recent ones too difficult. Mind you, I would never have got it, if it had not been for Google and Wikipedia.

Dont be bashful about coming forward with a few hints though - I need all the help I can get

I managed the link to London but got a bit stuck so was searching for stuff underground with the number of letters. Brill thanks reniannen

Oh my god, for the first time in ages I think I've got it :j I didn't want to spoil it in case others are working it out, so I've posted my workings and answer below in white - just highlight to see it (you'll need to hover over to see where the links are).

Thanks thingamabob for continuing to post these :T
Well done you.This is only the second one of these I have seen. Its great to see how you worked it all out as I tried and did get the first part but seeing how it all works will hopefully make next months a little easier and a challenge for me to try and finish it:T
I started with George Henry Borrow too. His home in later life was at a place called Oulton Broad. Using the numbers I tried googling this with the years 1904 - 1919 and found that a man called Mark Thurgur has written a history called Oulton Broad 1904 to 1919(souce)

When you is madeee and g is ov

I changed the letters in Thurgur to The Rover

A Piece to restore you is what you should see

There is a popular restoration comedy by Aphra Behn called The Rover

A lady you seek of mysterious past
But Why is the next step. The race that was last?

according to Aphra Behn's Wikipedia Article "Information regarding her, especially her early life, is scant, but she was almost certainly born in Wye, near Canterbury"

From the Wye article, the last race on Wye Racecourse took place on 2nd May 1974

Historian's Birthday we celebrate then,
And under the ground there you come to an end

Historian William Camden was born on 2nd May

The treasure hunt clue leads you to a final answer which is always a location and which exactly matches the number of letters / dashes given at the end of the clue. All you have to enter is the final solution. I've posted my answer again below in white -

Answer: Camden Catacombs

It might help to have a read of the official instructions here and look at previous solutions here to see how it works.

hope that helps
