Similar.... I carry a water bottle bag. There is just enough room in it to carry a pair of "ranger panties", which are very small, very thin shorts. Anyhow, I had hiked about a mile in and happened upon a secluded part of a lake. So I stashed my gear and moseyed down to the water to cool off. When I returned, it was beginning to dim out, I would barely have time to get back to my truck before full dark. Unfortunately, my gear was green, and much of the natural world in my area was too. I hunted everywhere where I thought I had left it. I eventually got it and walked quickly back to the truck. Last half mile or so was dark. I navigated by going there the shadows were not. (Fortunately, it was old forest service road, and was a nice wide trail that was relatively easy walking) Next day, I bought a red bandana so that if I go there again and repeat the experience, I will put a flag on it.
OMG, yes, but someone actually had taken them!
It was a trail in Warwickshire I'd walked a few times. I arrived on my bike, stripped down, put everything in a bag and hid my bike in some dense shrubs/hedging. Came back about two hours later and someone had stolen my bike and bag. Luckily, it only had clothes in it. I managed to walk about a mile back to the nearest village and asked a man walking his dog if I could use his mobile phone to call my husband.
