I tried recording this on Legamus 10 years ago, but I eventually abandoned the project, nibbled in random places and thus hard to salvage, so here's a new effort. I already have one section ready, but I'm planning to move slowly for the time being as I still have my previous solo to finish... and th...

Maybe I should cold-read more often I'd like to claim Great Mammoth Cave.

Section 24 is in.

Some beautiful descriptions there. If it sounds like I'm reading slowly, that's because I hadn't done any pre-reading and was trying not to flub too much

I've recorded one of my chapters but I have one question before I upload. Should I keep the last sentence, the one in italics? From I understand, they mark the source of the fragment? In this case "From Edinburgh to the Antarctic—An Artist’s Notes and Sketches during the Dundee Antarctic Expedi...

I'd like to claim 6 and 7.
