Getting Lost when out Walking, Hiking & Rambling

In the bunkhouse there is a (humerous) look at getting lost when out Walking Britain's hills and mountains.

 

Here are some of the comments we have received

The East Harptree Triangle

After a day's walking in The Mendips, we were returning to my holiday cottage, and went through East Harptree.... and experienced an effect which my wife calls "the East Harptree triangle".

 

What is this? I here you ask.

 

Well every road we tried to take to move away from this place led us... back to East Harptree!!

 

We eventualy left this accursed place by finding the road we originally came in on.

 

Cheers

Ah - at last - somebody who speaks my language. I've not experienced the particular triangle mentioned but I'm sure it does exist. This is definately an under-reported phenomenon.

 

Did you experience the time/space shift as well?

 

I'm interested to know as I keep getting caught up in the 'Crook Triangle' when out walking the doggies.

 

All my little 6 mile trundles seem to end up in the lounge bar in The Fleece for some reason, and once trapped in there my watch leaps forward by several hours.

 

Luckily, I've got the K9s with me, so the 'your dinner's in the dog' scenario never happens.

 

Its an ill wind as they say...
