Wood of Creatures
The next section was mainly through woodland, but occassionally passing through fields. I thought I was doing quite well and keeping up a very good pace, but little did I know that these woods would be the woods of creepy crawly hell!
From every tree over the path dangled hundreds of tiny green catapiller things which dropped onto me when I walked through. They were cute at first but after the fiftieth time of feeling the telltale wispy spider threads against my skin and then flicking the green things off my jacket, trousers and rucksack straps, it got really annoying - and slowed me down massively as I had to stop and carefully extract them from my person. Grrr! Once I'd got them off me I walked on and saw some more danglng from the trees ahead... by the end I was like a crazy woman waving a long stick in front of me to try to catch the threads and whisk them away before they attached themselves to me once again.
