It is Day 676 of the daily poems, and the Found Poem theme is bringing us fascinating gems. Our poet Jane Monach recalls a visit to South Africa, and a notice to walkers, couched in seriously admonitory terms …
This walk
Notice at the beginning of the Oystercatcher Trail, Western Cape.
This walk has a rating of severe difficulty.
Do not attempt the path when it is raining.
Do not begin the walk after 2.30 pm.
You need to be fit and healthy.
The route is subject to random large waves.
Rocks are very slippery at high tide.
You walk at your own risk.
Jane Monach
