Re: Madron Well by Anonymous on Friday, 17 July 2015

hi, I live in penzance and yesterday it was all misty and much rain as i decided to show my German girl friend Madron Well. so, we parked the car and went down the path which was beautiful and magical in the mist , eventualy we went left at the cloutie trees into the marsh, this way and that,but in the general direction , or so i thought, anyway , because of all the rain the water was getting deeper and deeper with huge brambles too it became more or less impenetrable unless we had waders and a machete but we had only wellies!so, we gave up and decided to turn back, but hold on, where was back? i pride myself in my sense of direction and have very rarely got lost and hey presto we were totally lost, stumbling around up and down false exits until eventually we could head for a clearing then into a deep grassy field only to find ourselves what turned out to be on the opposite side of the path going in the opposite direction back to where i was sure the car was, so, even in the open misty field i/we were still lost. I had to laugh and did feel i was being played with and not as clever as i thought and for the fist time in ages i was back in the otherworld of mystery and magic. Even though we were soaking and had to stop the only car down a track and ask for directions and got back, it was one of the best mini adventures i had ever had and got me back and reminded me as to why i was here in the first place. we were lost in time and space but felt safe.
