By Kerry-Leigh East
Scratches, long grass, irritation, dirt, snake holes share a common factor of being part of nature of which I, Kerry-Leigh East am not a fan.
So seven of my friends and I decided to study at the pool on Saturday only to find out the pool was closed. Not to be easily put out we decided to go to the dam behind Chris Hani House. Donning big sunglasses, shorts, sun-block loads of enthusiasm and handbags we ventured into the wild.
The flag post for danger was having to get into the dam area through a small hole in the side of the fence. Now naturally if there is a fence it means we are not meant to enter, however enthusiasm seemed to override logic at this point. Confidently we continued our adventure.
As beautiful as nature was I could not help feeling uncomfortable striding through long brown grass with the sounds of insects unseen surrounding me. After jumping over streams, being severely scratched by unfriendly tree branches and clambering up steep banks we decided it best to give up. AND we had not even reached the dam. Needless to say after fears of being lost in the wilderness forever we found our way back to civilisation with a few scratches and much more respect for nature.
Nature shall remain beautiful and pristine from the comfort of my bedroom widow untouched by humans.
