Well, someone has to make a decision!

It seems the Ascalonions are serious about finally departing on their fact-finding mission. They have located a signpost on the Holy Island of Landisfarne and the overheard (and translated) conversation went something like this.
Pickle :- "Look, Pearl, this is the way out".
Pearl :- "Dummy, that is the way to the castle, over on yonder hill, we have to go the opposite way, back to our spaceship, if we are to go 'around the world in umpteen days' we had better go back to base and start from there".
Pickle :- "Nag, nag, nag. O.K. Let's go".
And off they went...
