That’s the sign for “True Trail” – when you find this sign you know you are on the right way. Wouldn’t it be great if we had these fish skeletons signposted on our path through life and have all doubt removed?
Life would be boring. That’s why it can be more interesting to find these signs
even if they occasionally lead to a
U-Turn. And you back to the last point where you know you were right and try again.
I used to love what we called here, a chalk chase π π

For us it’s a trail but the explanation of the signs before every run (‘coz they can differ) is called “chalk talk”. π

Oh, these were only the very basic ones – π I didn’t even touch the more involved ones. But that’s why we always have an explanation before the run.

a run, so it’s like orienteering with signs instead of a compass?

It’s a kind of fox and hound run. One or two runners lay the trail (either a dead trail, a day or a few hours ahead, or a live trail when the foxes have a 10-15 minutes head start) and the pack follows. If the trail is well laid then the beauty of such a run is that the fast runners arrive at the end at more or less the same time as the slow coaches (like me) because they have run all the falsies. It’s a great way of non-competitive running.

hmm sounds fascinating, I walk so wouldn’t suit me … orienteering was skill + quick walk, loved that in the outback!

Since we are non-competitive (“racist” behaviour is punishe – you have to drink a beer (or non-alcoholic drink not of your choice) for it) we have walkers, too. We are inclusive: some of us are getting a bit long in the tooth and so it depends from group to group (worldwide) how fast a run is.
