Wenley Moor Area Map

Liz unrolls this detailed chart of local roads, farms, and cottages across a surface in Squire's Barn. She traces Quinn's claimed route from his cottage to the village garage, her finger halting as she highlights how Squire's farm sits miles off path. The Doctor studies the markings closely, nodding as Liz exposes the lie, while Quinn shifts uncomfortably under their scrutiny. Creases mark frequent folds; ink notes dot key landmarks amid the rural layout.
