Narrative
A nice walk of a hot day. What could go wrong? Well, taking a GPS but no map is a good start.
Following my mental picture of the route I planned, I went though the woods along the board walk before getting a bit diverted around a boggy bit. The lower path was very wet, so I cut up to the slightly higher and drier path.
Coming back through the woods, I followed the track along the woods edge, which doesn't seem to be a real right of way (todo - check access), before diving down into the woods to try and find a path I knew to exist in the woods. Eventually after several hundred yards of nettles I found the path and was soon back at the start.
