On a cautionary note though I went chest deep in a peat bog directly on the path between Cutgate and Outer Edge (and I don't mean knee deep and fell forward on my chest - I just went straight down). Mrs H helped to pull me out but I would have been in trouble on my own and she is smaller than me so would have been neck deep. We were following the stakes and it looked really inoccuous so be very careful. We were very cautious after that and slowed down - a lot!!
That is the home of the Bogmonster, well known in these parts and quite near(and dear) to me. On the "Grin and bear it" I've been on standby here with a throw line. Don't worry though you can sink more than arm pit deep as you are floating then if you do end up in this sort of stuff try and lay down and swim rather than walk out.
