5 – The crack in the rock you fall through is never as deep as the one you drop your aforementioned map/compass down.
6 – keep telling yourself that a combination of bog/rock/heather is fun.
7 – That one good thing is that they’re so quiet, nobody’s likely to come across you hanging from a boulder by a handful of heather as you lost the goat path you were following because it stopped at a sheer, ninety-degree, 50m cliff…
