23 February 2012

The fence posts are square like the grid pattern of the fence wire; the track – still rising steep from the village at this point – sinks below the surrounding land, the rocks of its uneven surface offer grip, the edges are marked by short cliffs of mud and roots, topped with decaying leaf litter and sprouting grass. From where I am lying in the middle of the path, I can see past my new friends’ legs, over the verge and through the fence to the chestnut woods that were harvested back in the Autumn. Crisp chestnut leaves bowl past the microphone.

Headlights swayed as the car rolled down the slope, manoeuvring between the potholes and boulders. I waved and began to climb through the rain. Reaching a squat plateau some 400 metres below the summit, I unshoulder my dripping backpack and crawl through the stunted trees towards the edge. The wind gusts and buffets, drags tears from the corners of my eyes, rattles my cagoule’s hood, groans branches and flickers sodden leaves, offering itself as sound but also dragging scraps from the village below the lip of the cliff: a squashed dog bark, a stretched snatch of birdsong, a distended bell.
