  1. I need some solitude to clear my mind from the clutter of Pixie the temptress, Mike the crook from Essex, the log cabin, the strange trip.
  2. I'm not sure that I'm cut out for an Uncle Tom's log cabin existence. I'm a Paris, London, Warsaw kinda person not spartan "Into the Wild".
  3. The land is not far from the fisherman's rest and near the tor. There is a small log cabin there but no one has lived there for thirty years
  4. And how will that help you he asks. "You will be able to verify my identity" He says that he'll think it over. "Is the land nearby?" I ask
  5. It's a worldwide collection of interconnected computer networks. It has 1.5 billion private & public users who communicate and share info.
  6. I know I'm on a hiding to nothing to try and explain what the internet is to a hermit but I give it a go. "It's a network of computers".
  7. I don't have a passport, drivers licence - nothing that I can think of to prove who I am. What about the internet? "What's that?" he asks.
  8. Sitting down, he explains that he is all alone and is prepared to write the deeds for the land over to me if I can prove my identity. How?
  9. "Yes I am, but I'd like to know a bit more of the fundementals, like location and price" I reply. The homely fire takes my mind off the damp
  10. How did he know I was coming? "Are you looking to purchase a small plot of land, sir?" he said like a rather well-to-do London estate agent.
  11. In front of me stands an unkept man in his thirties with a rolled-up cigarette hanging from his mouth by the paper stuck to his lower lip.
  12. Wishing Mike a safe journey I approach the log cabin to see who's inside. Before I can knock on the door it opens. "I've been expecting you"
  13. In the opening before us there is a small log cabin almost hidden from view and a tantalising smell of kippers smoking. Mike says he's going
  14. It was raining all night and there is haze hanging in the air but the sun will cut through like a stage light after a pyrotechnic explosion.
  15. Better judgement leads me to believe that we should take the route to the east. We retrace our steps past the angry dog. There's an opening.
  16. We take a right and walk along a badger run. I just catch sight of a fox's tail disappearing as we reach a rocky scarp covered in saplings.
  17. We take a southerly direction but 70 metres along we are greeted by a mad, angry dog barking at us and bearing its teeth. There's no passing
  18. A stone thrown. Direction south. Sits your plot.
  19. After a short interlude whilst he plays a melody with a Turkish feel and we both begin to sway - he stops "there is a clue in the Haiku".
  20. Now I know that I must find the field on my own. Any involvement or contact with this Mike from Essex or Pixie must be avoided at all costs.
