hedge to a very muddy area - note you must be carrying the mirror to reflect the Basilisk's

bit... as you examine them they fall to the ground), GET FARTHING, E, GET HAMMER, OPEN BOX (you find
a bunch of rusty keys), S, READ SIGN (one farthing please), INSERT FARTHING (in the slot... the

You are back in the forest miraculously standing in the clearing in which you first arrived.
A salutary lesson I'm sure, and one which I think you'll not easily forget.
Perhaps next time you'll be more careful.
Anyway here's the helicopter.
CONGRATULATIONS and GOODBYE
