I loose my way on 'The West Mendip Way--trodden often with clear skies and open landscape--never a need for a compass or map--But how different the ground feels  when shrouded in thick white mist--how different  my perceptions become and usually so reliant on sight alone  as a rule-here---------no wooden copse to be seen OR found ,no creepy isolated cottage to offer the comfort of a known location---where is it I ask--its got to be near  soon--------I go one way and then the other but the stile hides refusing to reveal its whereabouts---like the Labyrinth Wall in the David Bowie film----where is it I ask-------the mist is heavy and dense so I follow the alternative route------thru a gate instead---wandering over unfamiliar terrain now--with unknown features--unknown humps and bumps but the deposits of fresh cow pack are familiar--are there cows here--I hear nothing, I see nothing--into the MIST I go----------mooooooooooooooooooooooooo
