  Perhaps you can help us out! If you can work out what the 'strawwisp' mentioned on the page is, we'd love to hear from you!

  Straw Wisp relates to a small bunch or bundle of straw. I guess it just sunk into the mud but with frost it made the ground less slippery

  Oh, I see. I guess it was supposed to make movement easier. Thanks for that!
