Aren't you cold out there? Without a more clear reference point this night, it would be best to be indoors. If the sun comes up over the forest then that will help me, at least confirm my sense of direction. Although give the sky an hour and the stars will shift to the west too. All the worlds a circle.
It's been a dreadfully long time since British Literature class, but I remember, at least one forest that walked around and talked, but that was in the later books.
