Kirrin Island. I've always wanted to visit there! :D

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Kirrin Island. A nice quiet secluded place to camp overnight upon. Usually!

I would prefer Kirrin Island, as it would be less claustrophobic than Tinker's lighthouse.

Mistletoe Farm.

A nature walk
OR
A boating lesson
When butterflies hover and dragonflies gleam,
When rushes grow high by the pond and the stream,
And foxgloves stand in the woodland and dream
It's Summer!

A boating lesson.

A boating lesson or tea in the Peterswood dairy?

I would like both, i.e. a nice tea in the Peterswood dairy after my boating lesson!!! However, as I have to choose one I will go with the boating lesson.

A boating lesson or a nature walk across a moor?

I will say Ring O’ Bells village as I have not read this book or even heard of it - so thank you. It looks intriguing and probably less spooky than Smuggler’s Top!

Playing jokes with Pierre ‘Sooty’ Lenoir at Smuggler’s Top or Toby at Billycock Farm?

Going off on a caravan holiday, or living in a cave that you've turned into a cosy 'home'?

Helping with the haymaking on Mistletoe Farm or visiting the Butterfly Farm on Billycock Hill?

Haymaking. As long as my share of "helping" involves sitting on a nice cosy pile of hay watching everyone else run around like silly beggars.

Haymaking on Mistletoe Farm, or playing golf on the golf course in "Five have a mystery to solve"?

As haymaking in the old-fashioned way at Misteltoe Farm is quite exhausting (although the modern way is very heavy work and I now tend to avoid it as I am not getting any younger!) I would opt for a nice round of golf on the golf course in "Five have a mystery to solve".

A round of golf on the golf course in "Five have a mystery to solve" OR a an hour out jogging with Eunice (Mystery of the Missing Man")?

I'm not bothered about Golf, and I'm not fond of Five Have A Mystery To Solve, but I'm even less fond of the idea of an hour's jogging, or an hour in Eunice's company, so I'd go with the golf. :)

A round of golf on the golf course in Five Have a Mystery to Solve OR going to look for 'spook trains' in Five Go Off To Camp?
