Adventure
What have the Romans ever done for us? Given us the Latin ‘adventurus’; meaning ‘about to happen’, from advenire ‘arrive’. That’s what.
The ‘Adventure’ part of the ‘DragonDrop Adventures’ moniker, was spawned from “Watchcam Adventures”. Now defunct, but once the world’s leading forum on all things watch camera. Now-a-days, the ‘Adventure’ category is the flag bearer for new, unusual, exciting or daring experiences.

- San Francisco DragonDrop Adventure
It's my first trip to San Francisco, but I'm not the first adventure club member to visit. Fionn was here 13 years ago (as you can see near the bottom of this DDAC archive ). I re created his shirt shot by standing at…
- I'm currently 36023 feet above Greenland
This reminds me of how amazed I was the first time I managed to photo blog to DragonDrop.org without the use of a cable attaching my keyboard to a wall somehow. 13 years ago, I 'field blogged a photo' (from an actual…

The new DragonDrop Adventure mobileEirene's came up with the name Dylis. This means 'perfect, true and reliable.' I hope so. She's a bit of a beast and looks a bit like a hearse. Very comfy though. Boasting a 3 litre V6 Diesel, she should transport all 6…
The Hepworth in WakeyEirene is away on a Spa weekend this weekend so I'm solo dad of 4. Thankfully, the internet came up trumps again with a suggestion of what to do to entertain the younger two DragonDroplets. The intriguingly titled ' Art…
