I almost lost my shoes doing this one! Following the compass diligently, I did not see the stile(s) and aimed for the gate, trying to take the direct way. BIG MISTAKE.

I got that sinking feeling and I sank up to my shins. I could feel my shoes being sucked off, so I was stuck there for about 10 minutes getting deeper and deeper in..my walking stick helped thankfully and I eventually dragged myself out, shoes intact, much to the amusement of a Farmer who asked me if I was lost!
He said if I had gone any further I would have been history as the septic tank was lurking close by. I squelched into the farmyard eventually, to be greeted, to my horror, and very good looking blue eyed Farmer who offered to hose me down. I declined the kind offer, and paddled my way down the lane and bagged the cache.
I eventually got back to the layby where I parked the car, and luckily had spare clothes in the boot. With the aid of a bright pink fleece to cover my modesty and a load of wet wipes, I managed to clean up and get changed..in between cars passing by... hey ho... just my luck eh?
