>>522579And this was the gist of our first three hours hiking on Sunday. It varied a bit (slightly less lumpy, a bit more lumpy, the chance of sinking knee deep in the mud).
There was a quite fun bit where the ground was boggy but there were loads of firm mounds of root and shoots coming out; we used these like stepping stones, but they were not at all stable so it was like the stones on Takeshi's castle as you had to keep moving once you'd started or you'd lose balance.
