Look for subtle clues – a line of broken bark, a different scent, a slight dip that a stone trail would hide. Check the ground ahead for damp spots, which often mean water or a quicksand pit below. Keep your eyes up and ears open; a rustle can be a sign of a hidden bog or a creature’s burrow. If you’re stuck, take the longer route, but always carry a stick to test the soil before you step. Trust your instincts, but double‑check. Good luck out there!

I’ll mark a few landmarks with small cairns so I can backtrack if I lose my bearings.
