You might not have planned in exhaustive detail this year, but that doesn’t mean you’re not prepared. Chance is a seductive force, and it’s true that you appreciate its power and appeal more than most people, but you’d have been an idiot not to plant a GPS on the minibus.

You can see the signal now, registering as a small red beacon on the map you’ve called up on your smartphone. There’s also a pleasing sound effect that bings like sonar. They’ve parked a short distance away – less than half a mile by foot – and you’re delighted to see that Callum has chosen such an isolated location.

True, the museum village is popular today, and the school bus that’s parked close by worries you a little, but you can hike around the back of the absurdly twee cottages and cut across some fields, avoiding the kids and their teachers and the narrow, winding track that leads up the hill.

Even the weather is co-operating with you. There won’t be many walkers around and the rain means you can put on your black cagoule with the hood that conceals your face. Your equipment is stashed in a small backpack, and to the average onlooker, you could be an ordinary rambler out to walk the coast path with a bag containing a map and a drinking flask and a neatly packed lunch.

But you’re not ordinary. You never have been. And there’s no space for a map or a flask or any lunch in your rucksack – not with all the gear you have stuffed inside.
