Shitting in the woods

I was out in some woods near Kinver (Wolverhampton) camping when I had to go for a shit.
It was pouring down with rain but the turtle was seriously starting to pop his little head out so I ventured forth into the rain to find a likely spot...
After a short while of searching the best I could find was a small tree on the side of a wooded hill so I dropped my pants, grabbed hold of said tree and leant back to do the business.
When I'd just about finished, the tree decided to uproot sending me flailing backwards.
Only my quick reactions prevented me from falling into my own turds as I put my hands out behind on either side of me, and straight into some nettles...
So there I was, in pain, naked from the waist down, getting rained on and at a head downward 45 degree angle on this hill perched above a steaming pile of turds.
I did manage to escape that sticky situation by rolling off sideways (into more nettles) eventually though.
A learning experience for sure.
