Inshriach blue. Good start, slow and careful in the chequer-board, long leg was fine until I failed to find the crucial ride to the left of the green.

At this point I had an existential moment. Does the moon exist if nobody looks at it? If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound? I don't have a Scooby, but it was fairly clear that a lot of thought experiments had happened in the big blob of green on the Inshriach map and the blob of green had become a place where fallen trees came to die. Having adopted a 50/50 technique (half the time on hands and knees, half the time climbing through wormholes between branches), I got to what might plausibly have been the middle and stopped. It was weirdly quiet and the birds had stopped singing, but a pair of buzzards were circling slowly overhead.

Then, all of sudden the world seemed a lot better. I could hear some idiot following me.

The rest of it was lovely.
