 | Secret Water | The Swallows are dropped off by their parents in Goblin in an almost deserted marshy tidal area (Hamford Reserve in Essex) with the objective of mapping the islands and waterways. They begin surveying straight away but quickly realise they are not the first adventurers to reach the area. Then the Amazons arrive, and they seem keener on declaring war on the local eel tribe than completing the map. |

Great story ,loads of little sub-adventures, plenty of action, including more potentially mortal peril when Titty, Roger, Bridget and Sinbad try to cross the Wade as the tide turns.
