  • Come on, people...FOLD...FOLD...FOLD... The Foldmaster cracked his bloody whip. What used to be an innocent hobby has become a torturous journey.
  • The FOLD ie The Friends of the Lake District chanted and waved their banners as the Foldmaster instructed the FOLD members on how to hike to Lake Windermere without
  • concern for innocent grasses trampled. The Friends Of the Lake District listened to the Foldmaster. They set out in a semi-circular direction over a mottled hill to the Lake.
  • It was tragic, that patch of quicksand, couldn't be helped. I told the officers that I had tried to help, but to no avail. Eventually they had to let me go. Perfect.
  • But then I realized I left my wallet at the scene of the "accident." I waited 'til it was safe to return and found it, stuck in the quicksand. I had to act quickly but methodically
  • , actually I never understood why it's called quicksand, I mean my wallet was stuck just where I dropped it. In fact I don't remember trapsing through quicksand after the "accident
  • " however my feet were bare and filthy. My boots were long gone, lost in the murky depths. I used a tree branch to pull the muddy wallet out of the quicksand. My photo id

  • and tried to pull him out. But as I pulled he started to sink even deeper. I realised that I couldn't feel my feet, they were stuck as well. Suddenly everything went dark, sticky.
