The morning walk is difficult today, the air is heavy and damp. It is warm, too. Proceed up the long path to the Devil's Bridge slowly.
Several bends in the path before said bridge ahen old woman is walking up the hill very slowly, she is barely moving. Wish her a "Good Morning" in passing, and proceed on, start climbing the steep wet boards the bridge is made with. This is one of the only bridges that has a hairpin bend in the midle, and where the the one end of the structure is four metres higher than the other.
Some distance after the bridge look down at the path, there is the elderly woman passed earlier. She is standing at the lower end of the bridge looking at the sodden wood surface of the strukture.
Watch her as she prods the surface with her stick.
Then watch as she turns about and slowly heads back down the path. The damp shiny surface is just unsafe.
