Title: Surely this is a late April Fool stunt ?
Post by: KKOB on April 08, 2016, 16:58:31 PM: A British couple had to be saved by Turkish rescuers after getting lost in a mountain forest just a few hundred yards from their holiday home.

Patrick McSweeney, 66, and his partner Irene Pittaway, 62, had bought a house in the popular resort of Fethiye on the so-called Turquoise Coast in south-west Turkey 12 years ago and thought they knew the area well.

But they took a wrong turn on a woodland path during a morning walk and ended up going round in circles all day.

Who spilt the beans on this little gem? One of their so-called friends?

They have very good eyes for distinguishing one rock from another, in a forest, full of rocks :D but can't find their way out. Maybe if they could distinguish one tree or path from another they would have found their way no problem ;)
