REPORT

ON THE 5TH AUGUST 2022 A BAND OF MISFITS EMBARKED ON AN ADVENTURE.

THEY GATHERED AT AN AGREED MEETING POINT AND WERE QUICKLY HAULED INTO A GETAWAY VAN AND DRIVEN TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION IN THE DEEPEST, DARKEST HELLSCAPE OF THE SOUTHEND OF SHETLAND.

THERE, THEY WERE FORCED TO TREK THROUGH BOG AND MARSH, WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS SURROUNDING THEM, UNTIL THEIR FEET ACHED. THEY WERE GRANTED A BRIEF MOMENT OF TRANQUILITY (AND SANDWICHES) BEFORE THEIR CAPTOR HERDED THEM ATOP A CLIFF TO BE FED TO THE WILD SEABIRDS THAT WERE NESTING THERE.

THE UNRULY BUNCH WERE NO MATCH FOR THE DARING GULLS AND PUFFINS, AFTER A GRUELING BATTLE WITH FISTS AND CLAPS (DOUBLE DOUBLE THIS AND DOUBLE DOUBLE THAT!) THE GANG EMERGED VICTORIOUS!

BACK AT CAMP, OUR CHAMPIONS PREPARED THEMSELVES (AND PLENTY OF ROLLS) FOR A HARDY FEAST, MANY COURSES OF THE FINEST MEATS PREPARED OVER A COAL FIRE (GAS BARBEQUE), IN THE BRUTAL WIND AND RAIN, BY THREE OF SHETLAND'S BEST CHEFS.

A WELL DESERVED PRIZE.

THE BEASTS HAIL FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER, THAT FABLED PLACE WHERE EVERY LIVING THING SOMEHOW HOLDS A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU.

OUR HEROES HURRIEDLY KNEW THAT ALL THESE ANGRY CREATURES NEEDED WAS A LITTLE BIT OF BREAKFAST, AND SO GENEROUSLY SHARED THEIR VEGGIE LEFTOVERS AND ALL WAS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.

PEACE CAME TO THE ISLE ONCE AGAIN AND OUR GALLANT SAVIOURS COULD RETURN TO THEIR OWN HOMES.
