The heatwave continues and I declare today Annual Getting Lost day. I head into the woods for a walk.

After about 500 metres I turn left up the steep hill and head off–road. I keep climbing, heading round bits that look impassable until, fifteen minutes later, I do indeed feel lost.

I decide that I will walk right through the woods to Riskutie but I completely fail, and end up coming out onto Linnanherrentie about twenty metres from where I would have come out if I had kept to the path.

During this forty minute adventure I come across the remains of someone else’s summer fun. I find the remains of a camp or fortress.

Many years ago I found a wooden teepee, and then never found it again. This time I bring some photographic evidence back with me.
