Come and celebrate 70 years of Famous Five
Adventures in Dorset!
Famous Five Adventure Trail 2012
The Famous Five Adventure Trail 2012 enables Enid Blyton fans to participate in a Famous Five style adventure in the Dorset places that the author knew, and where she set some of her books. It will run from the beginning of Spring half term in June, to the end of autumn half term in November 2012.
It will be based on Five on Kirrin Island Again, the book where Uncle Quentin solved the world’s energy problems. We are delighted that one of the main sponsors is London’s Energy Institute, who is recognising
Uncle Quentin’s contribution to science.
The Trail will take a couple of days to complete. Clue sheets will be downloadable from this site in June. We’ve a splendid array of prizes, suitable for both local winners and for those from further afield.

“I’ll tell you what my experiments are for, George – they are to find a way of replacing all coal, coke, and oil – an idea to give the world all the heat and power it wants, and to do away with mines and miners,”
“Good gracious!” said George. “It would be one of the most wonderful things the world has ever known.”
“Yes,” said her father. “And I should give it to the whole world – it shall not be in the power of any one country, or collection of men. It shall be a gift to the whole of mankind – but George, there are men who want my secret for themselves, so that they may make colossal fortunes out of it.”
From Five on Kirrin Island Again by Enid Blyton. Published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1947
In 2012 people are still after Uncle Quentin’s secrets
– so come and join the adventure!
