Hi Hilary.
I actually apologized as I crashed through a web in my frantic search for the path. I wonder if Rachael is still there… I kinda doubt it, but you never know right? Yes it is frustrating to not know where you’re headed… when you have a specific destination in mind.

Hi Cath.
Wow, I just can’t believe that! A spider actually took bits of biscuit. That’s amazing! I’d have never imagined that.

Believe it or not – most of the time they seemed to be giving it real food – bits of biscuit and stuff and it took it. No wonder the spiders in here are so big.

Hi Davina .. I am so pleased you didn’t crash through Rachael .. she must be so pleased she can stay in situ .. building her web and living her life in peace … perhaps she’s praying for the war that was raged in the forest?

I have to say .. I too like to know where I am and where I’m going .. onto number 10 .. don’t stop now please!!

Hi Sara.
It was neat how that name for the spider just “landed”. I knew it instantly at that moment — it was so clear. I know what you mean about watching for poison ivy and other things with peeing in the woods. I’ve funnily enough, almost backed my bare butt into a spider’s web :-)

That would have been scary to be lost in a strange place… feeling left behind from the group you were with. Brings up a whole lot of feelings doesn’t it? Panic just grips you in those cases.

Davina — I am glad you made it back safely, but what a scary adventure! I’m still impressed that you even attempted this! You have a lot of persistence, my friend:~) I also loved the name you gave the spider. I believe the fact that it just came to you must mean it is her real name!

In answer to your questions, yes on both counts. When I growing up, my family was big on hunting in the woods. I never really took to it, but did enjoy being in the woods. Unfortunately, there are no porta-pottys in the woods and finding the right place can have a bit of risk…either from poison ivy or snakes. I usually just held it!

Regarding getting lost, my worst experience (of many) was when I got lost in Pompeii, Italy. We were on a tour of the ruins and I stayed behind my group to take a picture (big surprise) and when I came out, I couldn’t find them.

The guide had told us to follow the yellow umbrella he was carrying, but forgot to tell us that other tours would have a yellow umbrella. I didn’t have my passport, any money, or water and, of course, I don’t speak a word of Italian. Fortunately, I ran into some nice people who helped find my group, but it scare me really badly. After this, my family threatened to put on one of those “child leases” so I would wander away:~)

I enjoyed this adventure very much!!!
