5 The Five Orange Pips from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892) Audiobook

En este capítulo Simón y Binabik siguen andando por el bosque de Aldheorte, considerado el corazón de este mundo (llamado Osten Ard). Binabik se mete demasiado a través del bosque, lo que hace que Simón avance muy despacio: a más altura, más obstáculos. Al final, llegan a un claro para acampar y Simón se queda inmediatamente dormido. Binabik, mientras, echa las tabas y, entre ellas, repetidamente le sale una que no le gusta nada: el Camino de las Sombras. A la mañana siguiente, le dice a Simón que van a pasar la noche en el Monasterio de San Hoderund de Knokk, para después contarle la historia de ese santo, que fue de raza rimmeria pero de religión aedonita.Los anteriores podcast sobre la Primera Parte (“Simón Cabezahueca”), los podéis encontrar aquí.Anteriores podcast de esta segunda parte “Simón Peregrino”:* Capítulo 15.1: Un encuentro en el albergue.* Capítulo 15.2: Un encuentro en el albergue.* Capítulo 16: La flecha blanca.* Capítulo 17: Binabik.* Capítulo 18: Una red de estrellas (1).* Capítulo 18: Una red de estrellas (2).Mañana la segunda parte.

En este capítulo, Simón, acompañado por el gnomo Binabik y su loba Qantaqa, siguen su camino por el viejo bosque de Aldheorte. Simón, incansable haciendo preguntas, le acaba diciendo al simpático y extrovertido gnomo que él es sólo un pinche de cocina, a lo que Binabik le responde:“los chicos que trabajan en las cocinas no han sido engendrados por un pescado o empollados como huellos de gallina. Pueden pensar como los más sabios entre la gente sabia, sólo si no luchan contra la llegada del conocimiento: si no empiezan a decir “no quiero” o “no puedo”. Bueno, ahora estaba explicando lo que iba a hacer al respecto, ¿te importa?Los anteriores podcast sobre la Primera Parte (“Simón Cabezahueca”), los podéis encontrar aquí.Anteriores podcast de esta segunda parte “Simón Peregrino”:* Capítulo 15.1: Un encuentro en el albergue.* Capítulo 15.2: Un encuentro en el albergue.* Capítulo 16: La flecha blanca.* Capítulo 17: Binabik.Mañana toca la segunda parte de este capítulo… This is a public episode.

Clare rambles around Epping Forest with the new Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields. He was appointed in September 2024, taking over from Bear Grylls, and has a wealth of adventure experience under his belt. Dwayne was born in Jamaica and came to the UK at the age of six. He grew up in inner city London and says his formative years were wrapped up in social stigma, and he became a victim of both knife and gun crime. He managed to break away from this culture by spending time in outdoor spaces like Hackney Marshes, rediscovering a love of the outdoors he had felt deeply as a youngster in Jamaica. He remembers watching a TV interview with James Cracknell and Ben Fogle who were looking for a third team member to join a polar expedition. Although by the time he applied he was too late for selection, Dwayne did eventually join another trip and became the first black Briton to trek to the north pole.For Ramblings he leads Clare from the Scout Centre at Gilwell Park into and around Epping Forest. According to the Epping Forest Heritage Trust, it’s the largest open space in London at just over 6000 acres stretching from Manor Park in east London to just north of Epping in Essex.

Termino en este podcast la lectura del capítulo 12. En esta segunda parte, Morgenes le da a Josua un plano para que salgan del castillo de Hayholt a través de las catacumbas y una antorcha, por lo que el príncipe, después de que Simón le quite las cadenas, sale por un pasadizo secreto que el doctor tenía en su estudio. Cuando Morgenes y Simón están haciendo planes para el día siguiente, Inch golpea la puerta, rechazando Morgenes sus servicios por esa noche. Pero entonces una voz grita: “Abrid la puerta en nombre del Rey”. Así saben que Breyugar, el Lord de la Guardia, y Pryrates están fuera, ordenando que echen las puertas abajo. Morgenes le da una luz a Simón y le ordena que salga por el mismo pasadizo subterráneo, mientras él se queda para impedir que sigan al chico…Para los que queráis escuchar los capítulos anteriores, podéis pinchar en los enlaces que siguen:* Introducción.* Capítulo 1: El Saltamontes y el Rey.* Capítulo 2: Una historia de dos ranas.* Capítulo 3: Pájaros en la capilla.* Capítulo 4: Jaula de grillos.* Capítulo 5: La ventana de la torre.* Capítulo 6.1: El túmulo sobre los acantilados (1).* Capítulo 6.2: El túmulo sobre los acantilados (2).* Capítulo 7: La estrella del Conquistador.* Capítulo 8: Aire dulce y amargo.* Capítulo 9: Humo en el viento.* Capítulo 10: El rey cicuta.* Capítulo 11: Un huésped inesperado.* Capítulo 12.1: Seis gorriones.Mañana toca la primera parte del Capítulo 13: Entre mundos.
