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.

And foxgloves stand in the woodland and dream

Re: Which do you prefer?
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.

Smuggler's Top or Ring o Bells village?

Re: Which do you prefer?
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!

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"?

Re: Which do you prefer?
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")?

Re: Which do you prefer?
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?
