Clearing in the reedbed
Image: © William Starkey Taken: 11 May 2013
A cleared area in the reedbed growing on the north bank of the River Tay near Seaside. The clearing is presumably man-made, since its outline is linear. Access to this grid square is truly purgatorial, with marshy ground, thorny undergrowth, mud, and three-metre high reeds impeding progress - the latter are razor sharp when broken - and penetrate human skin with ease. The most unpleasant walking of any grid square I have visited on behalf of Geograph.
