page 42  Why don't we take inspiration from some landscape that isn't a beach but that Syd knew very well?

On holiday with his family in North Wales, at the age of seven, Roger (Syd's real name) got lost and wandered for hours in a wood near Snowdon, one of the highest and most-visited mountains in Britain. During that experience he didn't really feel lost, but in his later life he kept a book about Snowdon. There are beautiful woods in Syd's beloved Cambridge, but according to Julian Palacios that was an important experience, since he entitled his first biography of Syd Lost in the Woods.  sources → Snowdonia Society. http://www.snowdonia-society.org.uk/index2.php?id=19 Glover, Paul.
