Handy Tips

Some handy tips for walking about in the woods at night, with no torch and no moonlight.

Even if you are walking very fast uphill do try not to breath through your mouth, failure to do so could well result in a branch going into your mouth. If you find yourself with a branch in your mouth try to resist rapidly jerking away from the branch in such a manner that would result in any of the thorns on the branch getting caught on the inside of your lip and cheek. If you do end up with thorns in your mouth remove them very gently.

When vaulting over fences in darkened woodland do not expect to land on an even surface, or even for the ground to be at the height you imagine it will be, keep your legs relaxed and be prepared to fall in any number of possible directions, occasionally for quite some distance.

When following a 'path' in the dark, remember that sheep are less tall than an average human, and therefore there may be facial impediments to actually following said path. He says, sporting a rather silly looking graze across his nose :-)
