I was walking on the Yorkshire moors with a mate of mine, then the mist rolled in. No problem, he had his map and compass, we knew that we had to cut to the right, we knew that there was a fence and it didn't matter exactly were we joined it, we just had to turn left.. As we were walking he was keeping a check on his compass but to me it felt as though we were turning to the left all the time, but we trusted the compass, and came out just were we wanted to be. Forwards to another time, same place different mate, same conditions, no map , no compass, we'd ditched them with a mate of ours who was following on a car ride out, seeing as I knew the way, done it dozens of times, I said, we make a right along here, we heather bash till we reach the fence then turn left. Well that was the idea, but I reckon we turned left in a few hundred yards, heading in exactly the opposite direction till we reached a road and begged a lift. It is so easy to get it wrong, mind you, they've got all of these fancy gadgets to get lost with now.
