I took a long walk on my second day in Crieff, leaving Loch Monzievaird and attempting to circle Laggan Hill.
I got lost.
The first photo is where I went wrong, turning towards Trowan instead of veering toward Paddock Wood. What I thought would be a short 1hr, 3mi walk turned into a 5.5mi / 9km hike.
It got to a point where I was photographing any landmark I could find because I incorrectly thought Google maps had my location wrong (it didn't, I was way off course).
'No matter', I thought, 'I'll have a nice cup of tea and maybe a scone when I reach Trowan'
Except, as the last photo shows, Trowan was little more than a ramshackle house and mainly named for the large farm is there.
I walked a little further but dropped my paper map and with it, I lost my bottle. I'd already taken an hour walk, alone, without water. The responsible thing was to head back along the same path

ARTHUR: But that's not true. I'm fairly often just completely happy. Like, for instance, when you get into a bath quickly and it's just the right temperature, and you go "ooooh". I mean really no one gets any happier than that.
MARTIN: What a depressing thought.
ARTHUR: No, no, it's not though, because those sort of things happen all the time, whereas you're hardly ever, you know, blissfully happy with the love of your life in the moonlight, and when you are, you're too busy worrying about it being over soon, whereas the bath moments, there's loads of those!

I would like to thank Wes Anderson, who, in the course of his adaptation of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, has illustrated for us how Martin Crieff imagines himself in the privacy of his own head.

(on the ground, somewhere in the airport)
ARTHUR: Here you are, Skip. Nice hot cup of coffee.
MARTIN: Oh. (he takes a sip.) Aww! It’s cold!
ARTHUR: Nice cup of coffee.
MARTIN: It’s horrible!
ARTHUR: Cup of coffee.
MARTIN: I’m not even sure it is coffee.
ARTHUR: ... Cup.
This exchange runs through my head every time I make a cup of coffee

The key thing about Cabin Pressure as a benedict-cumberbatch-containing piece of media is that initially, it doesn’t know that it has Benedict Cumberbatch Benedict Cumberbatch in it, and then when it does know this, it spends half an hour comparing him to Miss Marple and making it very clear that he falls short
