Mine should be arriving somewhere next week. Would be happy to share information. They reckon it will take i - 5 years to discover so clearly the more resource and brains that can be applied the better. I have completed several of the puzzles in the Adventurers Notebook and have some ideas about Puzzle One and Three .....I am looking to genuinely share information and being able to trust other participants, as at this stage we are nowhere near the solution.

Everything has a start. So do I. At castle, the girl should catch your eye don't bother her, she’s looking for the red king. Will you dare to go to the other side and take your wing?
Is this the first of the 9 clues? It would be great if people could post these when they find them. It's a bit of a bore needing to piece them together from bold letters!

Yes, this is the first clue, but you have to take care that you don't miss the placeholder character "_". This is where you need to fill in the decoded solution from the picture. In this first clue it is "... At _ castle...". There can be even more than one of these placeholders in one riddle! They are really easy to miss.

I am not sure that the word before castle is necessarily the answer to the puzzle one. In some of the other puzzles there are two such space for example. I think I have a pretty good idea what the answer may be and am happy to share my thoughts, if that is what others want. What is for sure is that this whole puzzle may well take a year or so.
One tip it can sometimes be helpful to do both the English and the french puzzle one together, as the picture clues relate to both and need to be seperated.

This is Puzzle One in the french version
Ce lieu n'est qu'un simple commencement
pour trouver par ou il faut débuter.
L'arsenal côtier est ton allié,
là où y fit ses bâtiments.
This place is a simple beginning
To find where to start from
The coastal arsenal is your ally
Where it made its buildings / ships

One tip it can sometimes be helpful to do both the English and the french puzzle one together, as the picture clues relate to both and need to be seperated. I think the word that is the result of the decoding from the picture perfectly fits into the sentence at the place before "castle". With this the rest of the riddle text makes sense also and some details from the picture match the found location. This is true with all the solutions I found so far and it is IMHO clearly stated in the first paragraph of the explanations on p.83 of the book. You find a solution (words or part of a sentence) in the picture and fill it into the placeholder(s) of the riddle to complete the text. Then you have to interpret the riddle text to be able to move on. The decoded word(s) alone are not the solution of the clue, that is true, but the result of the interpretation.
It seems to be like this for both the english and the french version. The french riddle 1 also has a placeholder:
"...là où _ y fit ses bâtiments." "...where _ made his/her buildings / ships"
In this case the decoded word for the placeholder is a person, but the result of the interpretation finally is a location.

Very good points and I am on board with your reasoning. My issue with puzzle one is making some sense of the jumbled letters in the picture......for the English version I deduced a book, an author and places associated with him, one of which fitted with castle but the place was not the final location I believe is right...this was much further north. Any comments on this appreciated.
As to the French version I deduced a person and noted a coastline from which there were two potentially relevant places ( one shown and one where things built)) but again nothing from the jumbled letters and the roman numerals did not lead me anywhere. Again any comments appreciated as without some mutual co operation we are not likely yo get too far.

Any comments on this appreciated. You are on a good track with book, author and places. I also found a northern and a southern place and first believed it was the northern, but in fact it's the other one. Look for something near the castle and you know that you're right when it matches both the riddle text and a detail from the picture. The picture can be divided in two halfs vertically; one side belongs to England, the other to France. The "letters" on the left side are a certain code. Once you found and decoded it, it clearly names the location.

The roman numerals on the right led me to the right track. I knew I had seen the building from the right side somewhere, but withouth the number. It is a bit of self-advertisement of one of the hunt's organizers. The number does not belong to the building itself, but to the arsenal in the same town. From that I found the person and I guessed that the code on the right is the name of that person.
