Easy to be wise after the event, but I always check any fenceline that I'm following ( in poor visibility), using map and compass to ensure that it's heading where it's supposed to.

There were just too many fences, none of them straight. If I set out along one that seemed to be going the right way it changed its mind & headed off in another direction. Crucially, I failed to find the right one, leading to Fiendsdale Head. I ended up heading west deliberately, to give me a reasonable run round to Dunsop Bridge round south of the hills. And I ended up following yet another fence not marked on the OS map heading west - this one wasn't even a new one.
