..and here it is: Section 12 - Chapter 9, Part 2, Mount Everest https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/thelastsecrets_12_buchan_128kb.mp3 (29:37) Pending corrections from Susanne, the narration is complete, and I place it your capable hands, Dave. :thumbs: Thanks for keeping me straight on file name...

I've broken the final chapter into two shorter sections. Here's the first section:

Section 11 - Chapter 09, Mount Everest, Part 1

NOW there should be only one to go...

How agonizing it must have been to be so close... and yet unable... That's the way of most exploratory attempts, I think. We tend to remember the successful ones. It's refreshing to read of those who tried hard but failed. :cry: Here's two more that didn't quite meet their goals: Section 10-Chapter...

Section 09 - Chapter 07, The Holy Cities of Islam

No risk it, no biscuit, I guess.

...could you please add a closing for section 7?

Good catch. How's this?

Sometimes great adventures end less happily...

Dave: Do you get some sort of award when you make your 25,000th post?

Sunrise2020 wrote: ↑July 5th, 2021, 8:04 am PL of section 5 is fine.

Thank you, Susanne. I hope you're enjoying the adventures; I sure am.

I think you, as DPL, get to mark PL OK in the Magic Window. I understand LV frowns on a Reader marking his own efforts as "OK." Can't understand why.

Section 06, The South Pole , Part 1 https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/thelastsecrets_06_buchan_128kb.mp3 (35:47) Dave, FYI: Chapter 05 of the book is another very long one; I've broken it into two approximately equal parts, Sections 06 and 07. This time I had no trouble assigning myself as read...

I struggle to navigate with Google Maps

I have the same problem. That's why I use Gaia GPS as my main navigator.

Okay, fixed, thanks. Don't know what I was thinking. The MW should be right, now. Do you think that's why I couldn't assign myself as reader to the new section? Still puzzled about that. Steve Edit: I still "don't have permission to access" the project screen. Do I need that to add my name...

Chapter 03-2 The North Pole, Part 2 https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/thelastsecrets_03-2_buchan_128kb.mp3 (21:06) Buchan is a straightforward, easy-to-read author who tells a good story. Perhaps that's because he also wrote mysteries (39 steps, Greenmantle, etc.) which necessarily are aimed at...

Yes I did. Thanks for checking into it for me.

Thanks Dave...very helpful. :D But...I'm still confused. I used the "BC Admin" link to enter the section compiler page, and the "add section" button to add the new section. That worked fine. Then I tried the "assign reader sections" button, entered the new section numbe...
