This was an old (several years now) web page that seems to have disappeared. It was a brief account of an adult who had been in scouting and while taking a hike, I think in Scotland, was told to take a map and compass. Part way up, he got lost in the fog but recognized a landmark that told he was was near a dangerous drop, so he ended up using is map and compass to navigate back to the trail and safety.
Yes, I can tell the story, but the original was better 🙂 I’m wondering if anyone else recalls this and stashed a copy or just the URL. I can’t find it via the wayback machine without an URL 🙁
