Great idea, Vicky.  But be prepared - all of the usual trolls going to have a heyday with this series. You and your contributors will be absolute idiots for failing to foresee the dilemmas you found yourselves in. Craig Medred will almost certainly use these articles as source material for his rant series (that should be) titled Morons That Made A Mistake I Was Too Smart To Make. 

Most of us are too self conscious to share experiences were were lucky to walk away from. I would never admit that, uh, a friend of mine, once decided to try a new route back to a familiar campsite at dusk. A slight deviation about 300 yards from the destination resulted in hours of walking in circles in the rain. Oddly, my friend asserts that effective problem solving is compromised as exhaustion sets in and darkness steals depth perception and contrast. He eventually stumbled upon the place he began, then followed the familiar route back. 

Sure hope Mr. Medred doesn't read this comment . . . .
