Perce, Andy, Willard and Eddie are not enjoying the school Outward Bound trip to Bogmouth, it is wet and cold and most of the activities seem both unpleasant and pointless. Things manage to get worse however when they come across a strange old man on the beach who turns out to be Odysseus and once again the children are dragged into another Greek Myth. As ever, the two Steves manage to be hugely entertaining and educational at the same time.
