PUZZLE fans will be amazed by a new summer attraction.

They will soon be able to get lost in a six-acre monkey-shaped maize maze created by Lynda Warren, of Broad Town.

Ms Warren, 44, of Great Western Maze has been working closely with record-breaking maze designers Adrian Fisher Mazes.

She admits to having a passion for getting lost and decided to rent a field from a friend. It is mile south of Junction 16 of the M4.

She said: "Maize mazes are great just brilliant fun. I went to a maize maze a few years ago.

"This maze will have lookout towers, and will have guides rounding up anyone who is lost."

The maze is one of the first in the country to be created using the Global Positioning System.

The satellite-based system allows the design of a maze to be transferred via a satellite to an operator on the ground, who walks out the design of the maze by foot, guided by a hand-held screen.

Ms Warren said: "We drew three and a half kilometres of path in something like a day that would have usually taken about 12 to 16 days.

"We had this guy bleeping round the field like some crazy Teletubby!"

Adrian Fisher Mazes has set four world records, won 12 design and export awards, and created more than 300 mazes in 17 countries during its 21 year existence.

Managing director Marie Fisher said: "GPS has been around for a little while. The accuracy is very close."

The GPS method is much more efficient than the traditional methods using graph paper and twine.

The results will be there for all to see in July, when the crop is expected to reach six to eight feet high.

Ms Warren is hoping others will enjoy the maze as much as she does.

She said: "It is almost a euphoric feeling that you get when you are lost it is challenging but you know you are going to win."

The maze will be open from July 12 until mid-September.
