Dear Friends and fellow adventurers,

Are there no more wilderness left to explore or territories to chart? Are there no more dark corners of the world left to be illuminated?

Where once ancient mapmakers would have inscribed the legend Here be Dragons, their modern counterparts are happily detailing the many public amenities and gift shops within easy reach of the hotel. Is there nowhere in the world where you can’t buy a Big Mac, watch Eastenders or get an Uber?

So does this mean that there are no more adventurers left? No, no it does not…cherubs

Thankfully, the world hasn’t quite run out of challenges yet and there are still those who are prepared to meet them.
Just such a man is Vlad the Inhaler. When a poster challenged Vlad regarding the Rules, Laws and Regulations regarding Shedism he took it upon himself to search out the First Shed (peace and blessings on its name), and show the world the truth. So wearing only a fleece jacket and a pair of sturdy hiking boots he willingly took up the task.
Are you up for an adventure?
Want to join …are your ready for some excitement? There is bugger all on the tell so why not?

You’ve missed The Chief Cook and Bottle Washer

15

Please may I apply for the role of A Carmen Miranda hat.

I have been a hat several times before, most noticeably for two years at Bekonscot model village.

I have also substantial experience on balancing on the head of ex King Constantine of Greece, sometimes on one leg, sometimes the other, and often neither.

I notice this is a nonspeaking role, and I am almost exclusively mute.

I believe these qualifications make me uniquely suited to the role.

16

Too late Squire…please read the above crew list.

Are you applying for the position?

Harbal, I am sure you could add to the tale, feel free to join in at any time…especially when I start to run out of lies and dialogue :grinning:

I can be the squid. Sounds like not much work.
