Got Lost Didn't I?

Highgate Common http://www.staffs-wildlife.org.uk/page/highgate-common is around 5 miles from my house and it's a nice enough spot to walk/run and I thought I'd use it today.
It's well known to me, I've used it for years and the terrain is gently undulating and I thought I could put a bit of extra work in to today's session by going on some heath & woodland trails using the hills.
I was out for 45 minutes and ran for 40. Why the big increase? I got lost.
The new Nikes of a couple of days ago are unrecognisable. The area look dry-looks deceive.

It also "looked familiar" that was deceptive too!
The woodland is being managed and that's fine, they're keeping the public informed about progress and making some accommodating efforts with conservation

All that's really needed are some large balls of wool so that people like me don't get lost!
