Re: Which do you prefer?
A difficult choice! I love Craggy Tops but I find the Valley of Adventure hauntingly beautiful and I've always longed to explore the treasure caves, so the Valley of Adventure it is!
A week camping in the Valley of Adventure or a week camping with the circus in Tauri-Hessia - in either case, with Jack, Lucy-Ann, Philip, Dinah and Kiki?

Definitely a week camping in the valley of Adventure!

Re: Which do you prefer?
The Valley sounds very scenic and peaceful, but there's something that really speaks to me about a quaint, old fashioned village like Ring O'Bells so I'll opt for that.
A week in Ring O'Bells village with all the 'Barney R' group or a week with the FF on the farm in Five Go Down to the Sea?

Re: Which do you prefer?
I am besotted with Cornwall and would love to see the Barnies' show, so I'll take the week with the Five!
A week with the Famous Five on the farm in Five Go Down to the Sea or a week with them at the riding school in Five Go to Mystery Moor?

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)

Re: Which do you prefer?
I think I would stay with the Famous Five at Tremannon Farm.
I’d love to chat to Mr Penruthlan. (Ooh ock ucker).
Staying at Tremannon Farm or staying at Finniston Farm.

Re: Which do you prefer?
That's a tough choice. As I love the sound of the surrounding parts for different reasons - Tremannon Farm for the sea, caves, etc. Finniston Farm for the village, antique shop, castle dungeons, and so on. I think I'd go for Finniston Farm (though, hopefully, without Junior!)
Staying at Finniston Farm (with the FF but no Junior) or being in the hut in the snow in Five Get Into A Fix?

Re: Which do you prefer?
Definitely the hut in the snow in Five Get Into a Fix. There's something so cosy about the idea of a hut in a mountainous landscape in the winter. It reminds me of the hut in Heidi.
Staying in the hut in the snow in Five Get Into a Fix, or staying at the lighthouse in Five Go to Demon's Rocks?

Re: Which do you prefer?
As Tinker can be a bit annoying at times (not to mention Mischief) I'll go for staying in the hut in the snow with the FF in Five get into a Fix.

Re: Which do you prefer?
I was seeing if someone else answered this, as neither snow option is up there with my favourite scenarios. But I'd rather be in a house than a hut in snowy weather, so I'll opt for Rat-a-Tat.
Staying at Rat-a-Tat house in the snow with Barney and the rest, or being at Holly Farm with Roderick, Cyril, Melisande, etc, in the Six Cousins Again book?

Re: Which do you prefer?
Although I like Roderick and his father David is OK (but somewhat weak) I'm not sure that staying with Cyril, Melisande and Aunt Rose at Holly Farm would be very pleasant so I think I'll opt for staying at Rat-a-Tat house in the snow with Barney and Co.
Staying at Rat-a-Tat house in the snow with Barney and Co. or playing snap in Kirrin Cottage with Sid, Joan, Julian and Anne?

Re: Which do you prefer?
Definitely Kirrin Cottage.
Anything Kirrin or Peterswood related will pretty much always be the winner for me.
Playing snap in Kirrin Cottage with Sid, Joan, Julian and Anne or Stirring the food with Snubby and old Ma in Rilloby Fair?

Re: Which do you prefer?
Because of the chocolate mould I'll opt for playing snap with Sid and co. in Kirrin Cottage.
Playing snap in Kirrin Cottage with Sid, Joan, Julian and Anne or playing cards with George, Julian, Dick, Anne and Tinker in Tinker's lighthouse?

Re: Which do you prefer?
I love looking at lighthouses, but Kirrin (and Peterswood) are by far my favourite Enid settings and I'd rather be at Kirrin Cottage than Tinker's lighthouse.
Playing snap in Kirrin Cottage with Sid, Joan, Julian and Anne or camping in the field in 'Vanished Prince' with Ern, Sid and Perce?
