Mrs Mannering thinks that a peaceful holiday in the Welsh mountains couldn't possibly land the children in another dangerous adventure. How wrong she is! Philip, Dinah, Lucy-Ann and Jack are soon up to their necks in the mystery of a rumbling mountain, roaming wolves, and a mad genious who plans to rule the world.
The Adventure Series by Enid Blyton, a prolific English children's author, is a series of eight children's novels. As a child, these were my favourites, and thought I'd let you enjoy a bit of adventure too!
These books feature the same child characters: Philip, Jack, Dinah, and Lucy-Ann, along with several adult characters. Jack's pet cockatoo is also a standard feature in each novel, and the bird always comes through with some raucous utterance that amuses everyone or helps the children to evade danger.
The stories show the four children off on their own, discovering and solving mysteries without much adult assistance. Although the publication dates span a decade, Blyton reportedly wrote each of the novels in less than a week. This is a set of caches based on the 'Adventure' book series. Each cache gives a clue and this is needed to find the final cache. You don't need any info other than what you find in the caches.You do not have to do the caches in any particular order, other than the last one done last :) Three caches are small, the rest are at least .75l, about an sandwich sized tub. Some contain pens, some don't so make sure you take a pencil and paper with you. The caches vary in difficulty. Some caches will require a bit of hiking, so wellies and a level of fitness is recommened. Not pushchair friendly!
If you want to join in and help extend the series then here are the guidelines for an ARMCO series cache;
1) Start the name of the cache as follows: 'ARMCO - '
2) Listing should contain coordinates for a safe parking spot.
3) Terrain and difficulty should be kept to no more than a 2/2.
4) Try to add some interest/facts to the cache page.
5) Cache should be a keysafe or similar.
6) Copy and paste the opening paragraph to the cache page for continuity.
7) Add your cache to the bookmark list. Here's mine: http://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=f204ef7c-f21a-40e9-9f7b-197ccf143b84
8) You can add the below image URL as a background.
